Saint September 18 : St. Joseph of Cupertino the Saint who could Fly and the Patron of Students, Pilots and Mentally Handicapped
Mystic, born 17 June, 1603; died at Osimo 18 September, 1663; feast, 18 September. Joseph received his surname from Cupertino, a small village in the Diocese of Nardò, lying between Brindisi and Otranto in the Kingdom of Naples. His father Felice Desa, a poor carpenter, died before Joseph was born and left some debts, in consequence of which the creditors drove the mother, Francesca Panara, from her home, and she was obliged to give birth to her child in a stable.
#Novena to St. Joseph Cupertino and MIRACLE Prayer for Exams - Patron of #Students, Pilots and Disabled
http://jceworld.blogspot.ca/2016/09/novena-to-st-joseph-cupertino-and.html
In his eighth year Joseph had an ecstatic vision while at school and this was renewed several times; so that the children, seeing him gape and stare on such occasions, lost to all things about him, gave him the sobriquet "Bocca Aperta". At the same time he had a hot and irascible temper which his strict mother strove hard to overcome. He was apprenticed to a shoemaker, but at the age of seventeen he tried to be admitted to the Friars Minor Conventuals and was refused on account of his ignorance. He then applied to the Capuchins at Martino near Tarento, where he was accepted as a lay-brother in 1620, but his continual ecstasies unfitted him for work and he was dismissed. His mother and his uncles abused him as a good-for-nothing, but Joseph did not lose hope. By his continued prayers and tears he succeeded in obtaining permission to work in the stable as lay help or oblate at the Franciscan convent of La Grotella near Cupertino. He now gave evidence of great virtues, humility, obedience, and love of penance to such an extent that he was admitted to the clerical state in 1625, and three years later, on 28 March he was raised to the priesthood. Joseph was but little versed in human knowledge, for his biographers relate that he was able to read but poorly, yet infused by knowledge and supernatural light he not only surpassed all ordinary men in the learning of the schools but could solve the most intricate questions.
His life was now one long succession of visions and other heavenly favours. Everything that in any way had reference to God or holy things would bring on an ecstatic state: the sound of a bell or of church music, the mention of the name of God or of the Blessed Virgin or of a saint, any event in the life of Christ, the sacred Passion, a holy picture, the thought of the glory in heaven, all would put Joseph into contemplation. Neither dragging him about, buffeting, piercing with needles, nor even burning his flesh with candles would have any effect on him — only the voice of his superior would make him obey. These conditions would occur at any time or place, especially at Mass or during Divine Service. Frequently he would be raised from his feet and remain suspended in the air. Besides he would at times hear heavenly music. Since such occurrences in public caused much admiration and also disturbance in a community, Joseph for thirty-five years was not allowed to attend choir, go to the common refectory, walk in procession or say Mass in church, but was ordered to remain in his room, where a private chapel was prepared for him. Evil-minded and envious men even brought him before the Inquisition, and he was sent from one lonely house of the Capuchins or Franciscans to another, but Joseph retained his resigned and joyous spirit, submitting confidently to Divine Providence. He practised mortification and fasting to such a degree, that he kept seven Lents of forty days each year, and during many of them tasted no food except on Thursdays and Sundays. His body is in the church at Osimo. He was beatified by Benedict XIV in 1753, and canonized 16 July 1767 by Clement XIII; Clement XIV extended his office to the entire Church. His life was written by Robert Nuti (Palermo, 1678). Angelo Pastrovicchi wrote another in 1773, and this is used by the Bollandist "Acta SS.", V, Sept., 992.

Pope Francis says "The Lord was filled with great compassion" and suggests we be compassionate in Homily at Mass
The Pope: compassion is also the language of God
Compassion is like "the lens of the heart" which makes us understand the dimensions of reality, it is also the language of God, while many times human language is indifference. The Pope spoke about it at the morning Mass celebrated at Casa Santa Marta, resumed yesterday after the summer break
Debora Donnini - Vatican City
Open your heart to compassion and not close in indifference. This is the strong invitation that Pope Francis makes this morning in the homily of the Mass at Casa Santa Marta. Compassion, in fact, brings us to the path of "true justice", thus saving us from being closed in on ourselves. All reflection starts from the Gospel passage by Luke of today's Liturgy (Lk 7: 11-17) in which the story is told Jesus' meeting with the widow of Nain who mourns the death of his only son, as he is taken to the grave (listen to the service with the Pope's voice)
Our God is a God of compassion
The evangelist does not say that Jesus had compassion but that "the Lord was taken by great compassion", notes the Pope, and it is as if he said "he was a victim of compassion". There was the crowd that followed him, there were the people who accompanied that woman but Jesus sees his reality: she remained alone, she is a widow, she lost her only son. It is precisely compassion, in fact, that makes reality profoundly understood:
Compassion makes you see realities as they are; compassion is like the lens of the heart: it makes us really understand the dimensions. And in the Gospels, Jesus is often taken by compassion. Compassion is also the language of God. It does not begin, in the Bible, to appear with Jesus: it was God who told Moses "I saw the pain of my people" (Ex 3: 7); it is the compassion of God, who sends Moses to save the people. Our God is a God of compassion, and compassion is - we can say - the weakness of God, but also his strength. What best gives us: because it was compassion that moved him to send the Son to us. It is a language of God, compassion.
Compassion "is not a feeling of pain", which is proved, for example, when you see a dog die on the road: "poor thing, we feel a little pain," notes Francesco. But it's "getting involved in the problem of others, it's playing life there". The Lord, in fact, plays life and goes there.
The photo called "Indifference"
Another example Pope Francis draws from the Gospel of the multiplication of the loaves when Jesus tells the disciples to feed the crowd that followed him while they would like to dismiss her. "The disciples were prudent," notes Francis. "I believe - he continues - that at that moment Jesus became angry, in his heart", considering the answer: "Give them food to you!" His invitation is to take charge of the people, without thinking that after such a day they could go to the villages to buy bread. "The Lord, says the Gospel, had compassion because he saw those people as sheep without a shepherd", recalls the Pope. On the one hand, therefore, the gesture of Jesus, compassion, on the other hand the selfish attitude of the disciples who "seek a solution but without compromise", who do not get their hands dirty, as if to say that these people manage:
And here, if compassion is the language of God, so often human language is indifference. Take charge up to here and don't think any further. Indifference. One of our photographers, L'Osservatore Romano, took a photo that is now in the Almosineria, which is called "Indifference". I have talked about other times about this. One winter night, in front of a luxury restaurant, a lady who lives on the street extends her hand to another lady who comes out of the restaurant, well covered, and this other lady looks from another side. This is indifference. Go and look at that photograph: this is indifference. Our indifference. How many times we look from another side ... And so we close the door to compassion. We can do an examination of conscience: do I usually look from another part? Or do I let the Holy Spirit take me on the path of compassion? Which is a virtue of God ...
Returning saves us from indifference
The Pope then said he was touched by a word from today's Gospel when Jesus tells this mother: "Don't cry." "A caress of compassion," he emphasizes. Jesus touches the coffin, telling the boy to get up. Then, the young man sits up and starts talking. And the Pope remarks precisely the words: "And He gave him back to his mother"
He gave it back: an act of justice. This word is used in justice: to return. Compassion takes us to the path of true justice. We must always give back to those who have a certain right, and this always saves us from selfishness, from indifference, from the closure of ourselves. We continue today's Eucharist with this word: "The Lord was filled with great compassion". May he also have compassion for each of us: we need it.

#BreakingNews Catholic Priest saved by Praying the Rosary as Robbers try to Shoot him but the Gun would not Fire
KHOU reports of a 'Divine Intervention' as a Catholic Priest was beaten by robbery suspects who later shot a Houston police officer.
The priest said he was on his knees praying when the suspects tried twice to shoot him in the head.
One of the victims of a violent crime spree that ended with a Houston police officer shot and wounded, was a priest.
Father Desmond Ohankwere was walking behind St. Peter The Apostle Catholic Church and praying the rosary when he was ambushed by four young men.
One of them pointed a gun right at his head.
"When he clicked it, I thought I was gone, so then he tried it again," Father Desmond said.
The priest said he was on his knees praying when the suspects tried to shoot him again.
Two tries and no bullets. Just two clicks.
"I should be dead now, you should be talking about my burial," Father Desmond said.
When the gun didn't work, the men started beating him. He has bruises and scrapes to his arm, lower body and head.
They took what he had on him, which was two cell phones and some keys. They didn't take his rosary.
But he's alive. And it may be no surprise who the priest credits for that.
"Divine intervention, that's what I'm saying," said Father Desmond.
The priest says he will be fine, and is now praying for the injured officer and the suspects.

Wow Beautiful Heavenly Music by St. Hildegard von Bingen honoring Our Lady "O tu suavissima virga"
O tu suavissima virga
Responsory for the Virgin (D 156v, R 468r, Scivias III.13.1b) by Hildegard of Bingen
R. O tu suavissima virga
frondens de stirpe Jesse,
O quam magna virtus est
quod divinitas
in pulcherrimam filiam aspexit,
sicut aquila in solem
oculum suum ponit:
R. Cum supernus Pater claritatem Virginis
adtendit ubi Verbum suum
in ipsa incarnari voluit.
V. Nam in mistico misterio Dei,
illustrata mente Virginis,
mirabiliter clarus flos
ex ipsa Virgine
exivit:
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui
sancto, sicut erat in principio.
in ipsa incarnari voluit. R. O sweetest branch,
you bloom from Jesse's stock!
How great the mighty power,
that divinity
upon a daughter's beauty gazed—
an eagle turns his eye
into the sun:
R. As Heaven's Father tended to the Virgin's splendor
when he willed his Word
in her to be incarnate.
V. For in God's mystic mystery,
the Virgin's mind illuminéd,
the flower bright—a wonder!—
forth from that Virgin
sprung:
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and the Spirit
Holy, as it was in the beginning.

#BreakingNews Chinese Government plans to Destroy Historic Marian Shrine which brings Thousands of Pilgrims annually
Asia News reports that Taiyuan, pilgrims flock to save Shrine of Our Lady from destruction
by Wang Zhicheng
The government wants to destroy the mountain top "Heaven's Gate". Perhaps a motorway will pass through the area. Great security measures to control thousands of faithful. The sanctuary was built in 1924. Every year, on September 15th, tens of thousands of pilgrims come from all over China.
Taiyuan (AsiaNews) - Thousands of faithful came on pilgrimage to Dongergou, near Taiyuan (Shanxi), to the shrine of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows, on the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, which is celebrated on September 15 in the Church.
This year, in addition to reasons of faith, the faithful were further concerned by news that the local government wants to destroy the solemn door of the sanctuary, called " Heaven's Gate" because it says that it is too high.
Other reports claim the local government's plan is to build a highway through the area. The statues that adorn the Gate have already been removed, in the name of "sinicization". Some time ago the news spread that the government wanted to destroy the entire sanctuary. In the name of "sinicization" many churches have already been defaced, crosses torn from bell towers, domes destroyed. Another shrine in Guizhou risks destruction.
Yesterday the pilgrimage took place amid large security measures, in the presence of the police, but everything happened in a quiet way. No priest, except those from the Diocese of Taiyuan, was allowed to concelebrate or preside over a mass. Many faithful climbed to their knees on the steps to Heaven's Gate (photo 3).
The shrine of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows was built almost a century ago, in 1924. " Heaven's Gate" overlooks a long zigzag path on the mountain interspersed with the Stations of the Cross (photo 2). From "Heaven's Gate " pilgrims contemplate the sanctuary that partly recalls the structure of the Temple of Paradise in Beijing (photo 4). Every year, on September 15, tens of thousands of pilgrims come from all over China.
One of the faithful explained that the dedication to Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows took place because they wanted to build a shrine to the Virgin Mary and because the mountains around the church are called "of the seven bitternesses". The church and sanctuary were built to ask God for protection from floods and drought.

Pope and Malta's President George Vella discuss Migration and Environment
Pope and Malta President discuss migration
Pope Francis receives the President of Malta in audience in the Vatican.
By Linda Bordoni
Pope Francis and Maltese President George Vella engaged in "cordial talks and discussed the phenomenon of migration to Europe" during an audience on Monday morning in the Vatican.
According to the Holy See Press Office, the two leaders expressed satisfaction for the good state of relations between Malta and the Holy See, highlighted the importance of religious values in the culture and life of the Maltese people and discussed the contribution of the Catholic Church in the field of education.
A Press Office statement also revealed that the Pope and the President set some time aside to consider some of the challenges faced by the Mediterranean island nation regarding the phenomenon of migration towards Europe.
Malta, like other Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Greece and Spain, is at the frontline in dealing with migration through the Mediterranean route. Ongoing discussions at a global and at a EU level have seen the country demand more responsibility sharing.
Welcome, Protect, Promote, Integrate
Pope Francis calls repeatedly on all men and women of goodwill to "welcome, protect, promote and integrate" migrants and refugees.
Pope Francis and President Vella focused on how the migration phenomenon strongly involves the Church and is not to be separated from environmental protection.
Finally, there was an exchange of views on various regional situations, with particular reference to the Mediterranean.

Saint September 17 : St. Robert Bellarmine a Doctor of the Church and the Patron of Catechists, Canon Lawyers and Catechumens
(Also, "Bellarmino"). A distinguished Jesuit theologian, writer, and cardinal, born at Montepulciano, 4 October, 1542; died 17 September, 1621. His father was Vincenzo Bellarmino, his mother Cinthia Cervini, sister of Cardinal Marcello Cervini, afterwards Pope Marcellus II. He was brought up at the newly founded Jesuit college in his native town, and entered the Society of Jesus on 20 September, 1560, being admitted to his first vows on the following day. The next three years he spent in studying philosophy at the Roman College, after which he taught the humanities first at Florence, then at Mondovì. In 1567 he began his theology at Padua, but in 1569 was sent to finish it at Louvain, where he could obtain a fuller acquaintance with the prevailing heresies. Having been ordained there, he quickly obtained a reputation both as a professor and a preacher, in the latter capacity drawing to his pulpit both Catholics and Protestants, even from distant parts. In 1576 he was recalled to Italy, and entrusted with the chair of Controversies recently founded at the Roman College. He proved himself equal to the arduous task, and the lectures thus delivered grew into the work "De Controversiis" which, amidst so much else of excellence, forms the chief title to his greatness. This monumental work was the earliest attempt to systematize the various controversies of the time, and made an immense impression throughout Europe, the blow it dealt to Protestantism being so acutely felt in Germany and England that special chairs were founded in order to provide replies to it. Nor has it even yet been superseded as the classical book on its subject-matter, though, as was to be expected, the progress of criticism has impaired the value of some of its historical arguments.
In 1588 Bellarmine was made Spiritual Father to the Roman College, but in 1590 he went with Cardinal Gaetano as theologian to the embassy Sixtus V was then sending into France to protect the interests of the Church amidst the troubles of the civil wars. Whilst he was there news reached him that Sixtus, who had warmly accepted the dedication of his "De Controversiis", was now proposing to put its first volume on the Index. This was because he had discovered that it assigned to the Holy See not a direct but only an indirect power over temporals. Bellarmine, whose loyalty to the Holy See was intense, took this greatly to heart; it was, however, averted by the death of Sixtus, and the new pope, Gregory XIV, even granted to Bellarmine's work the distinction of a special approbation. Gaetano's mission now terminating, Bellarmine resumed his work as Spiritual Father, and had the consolation of guiding the last years of St. Aloysius Gonzaga, who died in the Roman College in 1591. Many years later he had the further consolation of successfully promoting the beatification of the saintly youth. Likewise at this time he sat on the final commission for the revision of the Vulgate text. This revision had been desired by the Council of Trent, and subsequent popes had laboured over the task and had almost brought it to completion. But Sixtus V, though unskilled in this branch of criticism, had introduced alterations of his own, all for the worse. He had even gone so far as to have an impression of this vitiated edition printed and partially distributed, together with the proposed Bull enforcing its use. He died, however, before the actual promulgation, and his immediate successors at once proceeded to remove the blunders and call in the defective impression. The difficulty was how to substitute a more correct edition without affixing a stigma to the name of Sixtus, and Bellarmine proposed that the new edition should continue in the name of Sixtus, with a prefatory explanation that, on account of aliqua vitia vel typographorum vel aliorum which had crept in, Sixtus had himself resolved that a new impression should be undertaken. The suggestion was accepted, and Bellarmine himself wrote the preface, still prefixed to the Clementine edition ever since in use. On the other hand, he has been accused of untruthfulness in stating that Sixtus had resolved on a new impression. But his testimony, as there is no evidence to the contrary, should be accepted as decisive, seeing how conscientious a man he was in the estimation of his contemporaries; and the more so since it cannot be impugned without casting a slur on the character of his fellow-commissioners who accepted his suggestion, and of Clement VIII who with full knowledge of the facts gave his sanction to Bellarmine's preface being prefixed to the new edition. Besides, Angelo Rocca, the Secretary of the revisory commissions of Sixtus V and the succeeding pontiffs, himself wrote a draft preface for the new edition in which he makes the same statement: (Sixtus) "dum errores ex typographiâ ortos, et mutationes omnes, atque varias hominum opiniones recognoscere cœpit, ut postea de toto negotio deliberare atque Vulgatam editionem, prout debebat, publicare posset, morte præventus quod cœperat perficere non potuit". This draft preface, to which Bellarmine's was preferred, is still extant, attached to the copy of the Sixtine edition in which the Clementine corrections are marked, and may be seen in the Biblioteca Angelica at Rome. In 1592 Bellarmine was made Rector of the Roman College, and in 1595 Provincial of Naples. In 1597 Clement VIII recalled him to Rome and made him his own theologian and likewise Examiner of Bishops and Consultor of the Holy Office. Further, in 1599 he made him Cardinal-Priest of the title of Santa Maria in viâ, alleging as his reason for this promotion that "the Church of God had not his equal in learning". He was now appointed, along with the Dominican Cardinal d'Ascoli, an assessor to Cardinal Madruzzi, the President of the Congregation de Auxiliis, which had been instituted shortly before to settle the controversy which had recently arisen between the Thomists and the Molinists concerning the nature of the concord between efficacious grace and human liberty. Bellarmine's advice was from the first that the doctrinal question should not be decided authoritatively, but left over for further discussion in the schools, the disputants on either side being strictly forbidden to indulge in censures or condemnations of their adversaries. Clement VIII at first inclined to this view, but afterwards changed completely and determined on a doctrinal definition. Bellarmine's presence then became embarrassing, and he appointed him to the Archbishopric of Capua just then vacant. This is sometimes spoken of as the cardinal's disgrace, but Clement consecrated him with his own hands--an honour which the popes usually accord as a mark of special regard. The new archbishop departed at once for his see, and during the next three years set a bright example of pastoral zeal in its administration.
In 1605 Clement VIII died, and was succeeded by Leo XI who reigned only twenty-six days, and then by Paul V. In both conclaves, especially that latter, the name of Bellarmine was much before the electors, greatly to his own distress, but his quality as a Jesuit stood against him in the judgment of many of the cardinals. The new pope insisted on keeping him at Rome, and the cardinal, obediently complying, demanded that at least he should be released from an episcopal charge the duties of which he could no longer fulfil. He was now made a member of the Holy Office and of other congregations, and thenceforth was the chief advisor of the Holy See in the theological department of its administration. Of the particular transactions with which his name is most generally associated the following were the most important: The inquiry de Auxiliis, which after all Clement had not seen his way to decide, was now terminated with a settlement on the lines of Bellarmine's original suggestion. 1606 marked the beginning of the quarrel between the Holy See and the Republic of Venice which, without even consulting the pope, had presumed to abrogate the law of clerical exemption from civil jurisdiction and to withdraw the Church's right to hold real property. The quarrel led to a war of pamphlets in which the part of the Republic was sustained by John Marsiglio and an apostate monk named Paolo Sarpi, and that of the Holy See by Bellarmine and Baronius. Contemporaneous with the Venetian episode was that of the English Oath of Alliance. In 1606, in addition to the grave disabilities which already weighed them down, the English Catholics were required under pain of prœmunire to take an oath of allegiance craftily worded in such wise that a Catholic in refusing to take it might appear to be disavowing an undoubted civil obligation, whilst if he should take it he would be not merely rejecting but even condemning as "impious and heretical" the doctrine of the deposing power, that is to say, of a power, which, whether rightly or wrongly, the Holy See had claimed and exercised for centuries with the full approval of Christendom, and which even in that age the mass of the theologians of Europe defended. The Holy See having forbidden Catholics to take this oath, King James himself came forward as its defender, in a book entitled "Tripoli nodo triplex cuneus", to which Bellarmine replied in his "Responsio Matthfi Torti". Other treatises followed on either side, and the result of one, written in denial of the deposing power by William Barclay, an English jurist resident in France, was that Bellarmine's reply to it was branded by the Regalist Parlement of Paris. Thus it came to pass that, for following the via media of the indirect power, he was condemned in 1590 as too much of a Regalist and in 1605 as too much of a Papalist. Bellarmine did not live to deal with the later and more serious stage of the Galileo case, but in 1615 he took part in its earlier stage. He had always shown great interest in the discoveries of that investigator, and was on terms of friendly correspondence with him. He took up too--as is witnessed by his letter to Galileo's friend Foscarini--exactly the right attitude towards scientific theories in seeming contradiction with Scripture. If, as was undoubtedly the case then with Galileo's heliocentric theory, a scientific theory is insufficiently proved, it should be advanced only as an hypothesis; but if, as is the case with this theory now, it is solidly demonstrated, care must be taken to interpret Scripture only in accordance with it. When the Holy Office condemned the heliocentric theory, by an excess in the opposite direction, it became Bellarmine's official duty to signify the condemnation to Galileo, and receive his submission. Bellarmine lived to see one more conclave, that which elected Gregory XV (February, 1621). His health was now failing, and in the summer of the same year he was permitted to retire to Sant' Andrea and prepare for the end. His death was most edifying and was a fitting termination to a life which had been no less remarkable for its virtues than for its achievements. His spirit of prayer, his singular delicacy of conscience and freedom from sin, his spirit of humility and poverty, together with the disinterestedness which he displayed as much under the cardinal's robes as under the Jesuit's gown, his lavish charity to the poor, and his devotedness to work, had combined to impress those who knew him intimately with the feeling that he was of the number of the saints. Accordingly, when he died there was a general expectation that his cause would be promptly introduced. And so it was, under Urban VIII in 1627, when he became entitled to the appellation of Venerable. But a technical obstacle, arising out of Urban VIII's own general legislation in regard to beatifications, required its prorogation at that time. Though it was reintroduced on several occasions (1675, 1714, 1752, and 1832), and though on each occasion the great preponderance of votes was in favour of the beatification, a successful issue came only after many years. This was partly because of the influential character of some of those who recorded adverse votes, Barbarigo, Casante, and Azzolino in 1675, and Passionei in 1752, but still more for reasons of political expediency, Bellarmine's name being closely associated with a doctrine of papal authority most obnoxious to the Regalist politicians of the French Court. "We have said", wrote Benedict XIV to Cardinal de Tencin, "in confidence to the General of the Jesuits that the delay of the Cause has come not from the petty matters laid to his charge by Cardinal Passionei, but from the sad circumstances of the times" (Études Religieuses, 15 April, 1896). [Note: St. Robert Bellarmine was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1930, and declared a Doctor of the Universal Church in 1931. He is the patron saint of catechists.] Text from The Catholic Encyclopedia

Prayers St. Hildegard von Bingen composed - and prayer for her Intercession:
Prayers written by St. Hildegard
O Great FatherO Great Father we are in great need;
Now therefore we implore, we implore you
Through your Word, by which you have
Filled us with [those things] we need;
Now it may please you Father for it befits you
To consider us with your help,
So that we might not fail and lest your name
Might be blackened in us
And through your name, deign to help us.
O Eternal LordO eternal Lord,
it is pleasing to you
to burn in that same fire of love,
like that from which our bodies are born,
and from which you begot your Son
in the first dawn before all of Creation.
So consider this need which falls upon us,
and relieve us of it for the sake of your Son,
and lead us in joyous prosperity.
-Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179)
O Shepherd of SoulsO Shepherd of souls
and o first voice
through whom all creation was summoned,
now to you,
to you may it give pleasure and dignity
to liberate us
from our miseries and languishing.
O Ruby Blood
which flowed from on high
where divinity touched.
You are a flower
that the winter
of the serpent's breath
can never injure.
O Leafy BranchO leafy branch,
standing in your nobility
as the dawn breaks forth:
now rejoice and be glad
and deign to set us frail ones
free from evil habits
and stretch forth your hand
and lift us up.
by Hildegard von Bingen

Tuesday of the Twenty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time
Reading 11 TM 3:1-13
Beloved, this saying is trustworthy:
whoever aspires to the office of bishop desires a noble task.
Therefore, a bishop must be irreproachable,
married only once, temperate, self-controlled,
decent, hospitable, able to teach,
not a drunkard, not aggressive, but gentle,
not contentious, not a lover of money.
He must manage his own household well,
keeping his children under control with perfect dignity;
for if a man does not know how to manage his own household,
how can he take care of the Church of God?
He should not be a recent convert,
so that he may not become conceited
and thus incur the Devil's punishment.
He must also have a good reputation among outsiders,
so that he may not fall into disgrace, the Devil's trap.
Similarly, deacons must be dignified, not deceitful,
not addicted to drink, not greedy for sordid gain,
holding fast to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
Moreover, they should be tested first;
then, if there is nothing against them,
let them serve as deacons.
Women, similarly, should be dignified, not slanderers,
but temperate and faithful in everything.
Deacons may be married only once
and must manage their children and their households well.
Thus those who serve well as deacons gain good standing
and much confidence in their faith in Christ Jesus.
Responsorial PsalmPS 101:1B-2AB, 2CD-3AB, 5, 6
R.(2) I will walk with blameless heart.
Of mercy and judgment I will sing;
to you, O LORD, I will sing praise.
I will persevere in the way of integrity;
when will you come to me?
R. I will walk with blameless heart.
I will walk with blameless heart,
within my house;
I will not set before my eyes
any base thing.
Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret,
him will I destroy.
The man of haughty eyes and puffed up heart
I will not endure.
My eyes are upon the faithful of the land,
that they may dwell with me.
He who walks in the way of integrity
shall be in my service.
AlleluiaLK 7:16
A great prophet has arisen in our midst
and God has visited his people.
GospelLK 7:11-17
Jesus journeyed to a city called Nain,
and his disciples and a large crowd accompanied him.
As he drew near to the gate of the city,
a man who had died was being carried out,
the only son of his mother, and she was a widow.
A large crowd from the city was with her.
When the Lord saw her,
he was moved with pity for her and said to her,
"Do not weep."
He stepped forward and touched the coffin;
at this the bearers halted,
and he said, "Young man, I tell you, arise!"
The dead man sat up and began to speak,
and Jesus gave him to his mother.
Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, exclaiming,
"A great prophet has arisen in our midst,"
This report about him spread through the whole of Judea
and in all the surrounding region.

I'm in the process of migrating a phpBB forum to WordPress with bbPress. I don't know if the bbPress style is better but my users are used to the phpBB style for displaying Forums on the main page. So I tried to reproduce that layout in bbPress using categories. With the default theme, I was not happy with the way it looked. After a quick search in these forums, I saw some interesting topics from @lynq (here and there) but it didn't work as intended in the last bbpress release and ticket #1958 has been moved to 2.6.
So after a few hours of searching codex, and a lot of tries, I managed to do what I wanted. As there is still some demand in Lynq's topic, I thought I should share my little work.
I'm not a developper, so my code may be a little messy, but it works as intended. I've tried using the bbpress functions, and commented my code. If any PHP expert would like to review it and make it better, any feedback is welcome.
The only file to change is loop-forums.php with this code.
You just need to create it and paste the code. Then upload it to /wp-content/your-theme/bbpress/. Use a child-theme if you don't want to loose it on next theme update.
I've tested many situations (even a category inside a forum, which bbpress doesn't consider anymore as a category, probably normal behavior) and I think everything works as intended. Feel free to report any bug.
Hi I'm really keen on this layout rather than the default Forum index layout in bbPress.
Sounds like a good one..
@palmdoc : Hi, I don't know the structure of your forums as the access is restricted, but do you use categories ? If not, try using them, it should structure your forums as you want. For example, if Dobbs General was a category, its subforums would be listed as forums on the main page.
Ahh @kaliceos I get it now. Yes If I set a forum as a category it will display the structure. Unfortunately I have some I have set as subforums of a forum which already has discussions so if I change that into a category I will lose all the discussions there right?
@palmdoc : You will not loose any discussion if you change the forum type to Category but the discussions won't be shown anywhere as the topics don't have any parent related. The best solution I can think of is to change the name of the forum that you would like to use as a category to something generic like 'General' and create a category that is a parent of 'General' and the other subforums you had previously.
Thanks a bunch for saving me hours of searching & templating.
Thank you so much, this so should be in the core build.
@kaliceos , thanks a lot, this is exactly what I was looking for !!!!
Im a total newbie and I have the socute theme trying to integrate this code.
I have this "socute child theme" that holds the folders : cache, woocommerce and woocommerce_2.0x.
There are not wp-content/your-theme/bbpress/ in the child theme. So where should I put the file loop-forums.php?
Should I remover this file from this place, edit it by removing everything that is already in that file and paste the code that you suggest? And where to put the file afterwards when I dont have the directories you are telling me about?
What should I do with the code written below "RAW Paste Data"?
I really appreciate if some of you please can help me with this total newbie questions. It will help me have a good start with learning this.
That should be OK. Be careful when you update your theme, the loop-forums.php may be deleted.

Brazilian Wedding Ceremony Traditions & Customs
Bride-purchases are usually outsourced from Bihar, Assam, and West Bengal. The price of the bride , if purchased from the sellers, may value between 4,000 and 30,000 Indian rupees, which is the equivalent of $88 to $660USD. The brides' dad and mom are usually paid a mean of 500 to 1,000 Indian rupees (around $11 to $22USD). The must purchase a bride arises from the low feminine-to-male ratio. Such low ratio was brought on by the desire to give birth sons as an alternative of daughters, and female foeticide.
What To Expect At A Brazilian Wedding
In 2006, based on BBC News, there have been around 861 women for each 1,000 men in Haryana; and the national ratio in India as a whole was 927 women for each 1,000 men. Women usually are not solely bought as brides or wives, but additionally as farm workers or househelp.
In the previous, it was not simply acceptable but commonplace for 3 generations of the identical family to stay underneath the identical roof. As relationship partners, Brazilian mail order brides will prove to be profoundly loving and affectionate. It's in all probability obvious from the details previously talked about, but let's make it clear that your girl could have no worry of being emotional in entrance of you or others. Once love is in their hearts, their loyalty is unbreakable, they usually expect the identical in return. Otherwise, several types of heavy feelings shall come forward and you might need a spot to hide. Bridal Party – The bridal party in a Brazilian marriage ceremony sometimes consists of three groomsmen and three bridesmaids.
Internal Values Of Brazilian Mail Order Brides
They are usually couples who are in relationships, but they can also be longtime associates of the couple getting married. In one custom, the bridal get together isn't chosen till the day of. Ceremony – Many Brazilians comply with Christian and Catholic traditions in terms of the ceremony. The ceremony will usually happen in a church and the couple will trade vows, rings, and seal the take care of a kiss. One key difference is that Brazilian brides are anticipated to be no less than 10 minutes "late" at their wedding ceremony. B razil women may even be way more ahead in bobbing up of us than younger women coming from Panama and nicaragua , or perhaps Peru, for example.
Guests ship or ship wedding presents to the bride's household home earlier than the wedding day. Alternatively, the couple may register at a department retailer and have a list of gifts there. The store then organizes supply, usually to the bride's mother and father' home or to the reception venue. A marriage male order bride brazil ceremony is commonly followed or accompanied by a marriage reception, which in some areas could also be generally known as the 'Wedding Breakfast', at which an elaborate wedding ceremony cake is served. Western traditions embody toasting the couple, the newlyweds having the first dance, and cutting the cake.
Various items could also be asked of the groom and he willingly obliges to the demands after which he is let into the compound. After the religious ceremony, the marriage procession moves to a park/garden where lunch is served to friends. Afterwards, the marriage party typically takes footage while visitors make their approach to the reception. At the reception, depending on the family's ethnic group there are a number of traditional dances carried out. Ethiopian weddings usually serve Ethiopian meals and stay music and the party typically goes on into the early morning.
It is also traditional for the grooms family to provide a dowry to the bride and to offer the engagement ring. The bride's household is then liable for receiving the visitors of the wedding of their house for a reception afterward. Traditionally, the wedding guests gathered at the fiancée residence and went on procession to the church. The procession have been led by the bridegroom and his mother, followed by the bride mom and bridegroom father, the witnesses, grandparents, brothers and sisters with their partner. At last got here the bride and her father followed by the bridesmaids . A comparatively distinctive Finnish marriage ceremony tradition was the bridal sauna, the place the bridesmaids took the bride to a luxuriously adorned, cleansing sauna on the night time earlier than the wedding. Instead of the flower bouquet the tub broom was thrown as a substitute.
A bride may throw her bouquet to the assembled group of all single women in attendance, with folklore suggesting the one who catches it will be the following to wed. A fairly latest equivalent has the groom throwing the bride's garter to the assembled single men; the man who catches it's supposedly the following to wed. In the other components of the nation it is very much the same. Elders from both households retreat into an inner room to negotiate on the bride price. When concluded, the items are then presented to the bride's family. After this, the bride, alongside along with her entourage of girls is introduced to the husband, household and visitors in the most vibrant method.
Additionally, one of the best man holds perfume and sprays it all over the place inside the bride's family home. After this ceremony, the groom retrieves his bride and so they together with a procession go to a church/mosque to take their wedding ceremony vows. According to Punjabi author Kirpal Kazak, bride-promoting started in Jharkhand after the arrival of the Rajputs. The apply of the sale of women as brides declined after the Green Revolution in India, the "unfold of literacy", and the development of the male-female ratio since 1911.
The apply of bride-buying turned confined to the poor sections of society similar to farmers, Scheduled Castes, and tribes. In poverty-stricken families, only one son gets married because of poverty and to "keep away from the division of landed property". Bride-buying is widespread within the states of India similar to Haryana, Jharkhand, and Punjab. According to CNN-IBN, women are "purchased, bought, trafficked, raped and married off with out consent" throughout certain parts of India.
The marriage ceremony day begins with a convoy from the grooms household that heads to the woman's residence to gather her. However, the convoy just isn't instantly let into the girl's homestead. Rather the bride's gate is locked and song and dance begins as a canopy for negotiations.
Finest Dating Websites To Meet Brazilian Mail Order Brides
Most women turn into "sex-slaves" or forced laborers who are later resold to human traffickers to defray the fee. Chinese women, who are purchased as wives, who bear kids are more susceptible to staying within the marriage. Fang Yuzhu of the China Women's Federation credits it with a "strong sense of duty" that Chinese women have, and the concept that it is shameful to go away their husband.
We already warned you that household approval and her father's blessing are nearly obligatory to make sure a contented relationship. It may be apparent then how close Brazilian women are to their origins.
This is typically the conclusion the first day of a typical Ethiopian marriage ceremony. The Wedding procedure begins with the groom's aspect sending elders who then request a union between the events. The elders discuss a dowry (ጧሎሽ) and verify that the meant bride and groom aren't family members by checking their lineage a minimal of seven generations. On the marriage day the groom and groomsmen (ሚዜ) prepare at the groom's house early within the morning and proceed to the bride's mother and father home to start the wedding ceremonies. At the bride's father or mother's house, the bride will get ready and is seated awaiting the groom's arrival. As the groom and his wedding party arrive, the bride's household and friends ceremonially block the entrance to the home. The groomsmen have to either serenade or bribe their way into the home so that the groom can take the bride with him.

A simmering controversy in the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics brought out issues of food industry influence, integrity, and respect in a lively session yesterday at FNCE 2014 (the Academy's annual meeting in Atlanta). Academy President Sonja Connor moderated the session, which should tell you how seriously the Academy is taking this subject.
Joy Bauer opened the session with an overview of building a nutrition brand through social media. She is a charismatic, entrepreneurial dietitian who serves as the nutrition expert for the Today Show and has created a formidable nutrition brand based on her own good name. No controversy here. No difficult discussion of professional ethics.
HEN welcomes like-minded entities and organizations who are interested in working together on hunger and/or environmental projects, and for the purpose of sharing information.
I've been a debater since high school, so I'd rather hear people talk it out than to have them sit around harboring unspoken issues.
Professional integrity and transparency are critically important. Conflicts of interest and bias are real concerns that deserve attention. We hope that the result will be an organization that meets these concerns and continues to respect a healthy diversity of views — including views that are not like-minded to our own.

Freedom of Speech: The Sound Of Silence
IN 2011 Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical newspaper, was firebombed. Its editor, Stéphane Charbonnier, was asked if he could understand that moderate Muslims might have been offended by its cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. "Of course!" he replied. "Myself, when I pass by a mosque, a church or a synagogue, and I hear the idiocies that are spoken in them, I am shocked." Charlie Hebdo kept publishing such images. On January 7th Mr Charbonnier and 11 others were murdered by radical Islamists for their "offence". The paper's actions were a sign of defiance. But they also reflect France's free-speech law, which protects commentary on religion, even when it insults or mocks.
The reason lies in French history. Blasphemy laws carried the death penalty before the 1789 revolution, but were scrapped in 1881 as part of a bloody struggle against the Catholic church. Such latitude is not granted to incitement to racial or religious hatred, which was made a crime in 1972, partly as a response to a rise in attacks on Algerians. Holocaust denial was outlawed in 1990, and "apology for terrorism" last year. There is a "fundamental difference", declared the French prime minister, Manuel Valls, in a speech to parliament on January 13th, between the "freedom of impertinence" and "anti-Semitism, racism, apology for terrorism, Holocaust denial".
Every country limits free speech. Some do so only to prevent immediate harms, such as libel, violence or child pornography; others ban "hate speech" (offensive utterances against groups such as gay people or racial minorities) or blasphemy. In the wake of the Paris attacks, these differing approaches are colliding—both with each other and with free speech, which is in many places at best a wavering ideal.
Even in France, not all agree with the distinction drawn between "impertinence" and racism, Holocaust denial and the like. A poll published a week after the Charlie Hebdo attacks found that two-fifths felt that, since images of the Prophet offended Muslims, they should not be published. And some see double standards. In the banlieues, or outer-city estates, there were around 200 reported incidents of disruption in schools, mostly during a nationwide minute of silence on January 8th to honour the victims. How could a newspaper mock Islam with impunity, some Muslim pupils asked, but Dieudonné M'bala M'bala, a comedian with past links to Jean-Marie Le Pen of the far-right National Front, be arrested for apparently sympathising with the killers on Facebook? Along with dozens of others who commented on the attacks, mostly on social media, he has been charged with apology for terrorism. He faces up to seven years in jail.
Elsewhere in Europe, laws against hate speech can backfire by making free-speech martyrs out of provocateurs. In a Dutch parliamentary debate on January 14th on the Paris attacks, Geert Wilders, a populist politician, thundered that Islam must be eradicated from the Netherlands: "In every country where Islam is strong, it comes at the cost of freedom." For a decade he has been calling for bans on the Burqa and the Koran, and an end to immigration by Muslims. Such a platform would seem at odds with his claims to support liberty and free speech. But he says Islam is a totalitarian ideology rather than a religion, and likens the Koran to Hitler's "Mein Kampf", which is banned in the Netherlands.
Mr Wilders has already been acquitted of charges of fomenting discrimination in 2011. The court ruled that criticism of religion, especially by politicians, should enjoy strong protection. But last year he prompted followers at a rally to shout that they wanted "fewer Moroccans". Over 6,000 people filed complaints. Last month prosecutors decided to take up the case, saying the words demonised a population group rather than criticised a religion. Mr Wilders will no doubt exploit his new trial for free publicity, as he did his last.
So Much for Turning the Other Cheek
A startling contribution to the debate over freedom to offend came on January 15th, when Pope Francis told reporters that, though waging war in God's name was wrong; responding violently to one's religion being mocked or insulted was "natural". He likened such provocation to using a crude word about someone's mother, saying that if a Vatican official standing nearby were to do such a thing to him, he could "expect to get punched in the nose".
That was perhaps a moment of South American machismo from an Argentine pope—or a clumsily phrased attempt to express solidarity with Muslims offended by the cartoons, in the hope of calming inflamed tempers in the Islamic world. Cartoons depicting Muhammad published in 2005 by Jyllands-Posten, a Danish newspaper (later republished by Charlie Hebdo) sparked global protests, some of which developed into riots. In Nigeria, more than a hundred people were killed.
This time round Niger, a majority-Muslim former French colony sitting on the edge of the Sahara, has seen the worst violence. Protests against Charlie Hebdo's unrepentant depiction of Muhammad on the cover of its "survivors' issue" have caused the deaths of at least ten people and the burning of 45 churches. Hotels and bars have been razed to the ground, prompting speculation that Islamist extremists were among those inciting the mobs.
Words That Wound
Such mayhem is often whipped up by reference to blasphemy laws. Though these remain on the books in several European countries, they are rarely used. But in much of Africa, Asia and the rest of the world, they serve not only to silence irreligious utterances but, along with other limits on free speech, to ensure that hard-line religious leaders support incumbents and to silence political opponents.
Even laws introduced to tamp down the most poisonous utterances can end up as a tool of repression. In Rwanda all discussion of ethnic culpability for the 1994 genocide that disagrees with the officially sanctioned version is banned. The stated reason is to avoid a resurgence of ethnic hatred. But critics say that the Tutsi-led government uses restrictions on free speech to crack down on dissent, whether from the Hutu majority or not.
Among the dozens of world leaders condemning the Paris attacks was Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria's president. Nigeria's constitution guarantees freedom of expression and of the press, but laws against sedition, civil libel, criminal defamation and the publication of false news are used to protect the elite from criticism, says Jennifer Dunham of Freedom House, an American lobby group.
Comment on the government's weak response to Boko Haram, an Islamist insurgent group inflicting terror on the country's north-east, is also stifled. Terrorism and national-security laws have been used to enter offices, seize print runs and detain journalists. Several international news organisations have reported that journalist visas are hard to get, as criticism mounts in the run-up to next month's elections.
Laws against blasphemy and statements that could inflame religious conflict make it hard to criticise Nigeria's religious leaders and encourage self-censorship. Sharia, or Islamic law, adopted in most of the predominantly Muslim north is even stricter. "Journalists don't even think of speaking about controversial religious issues there," says Lai Oshisanya, a lawyer. "You'd probably be killed before it got to prosecution."
Pakistan's shadowy web-censors also crack down on any questioning of Islam—as well as criticism of the army. YouTube has been banned since the uploading in 2012 of "Innocence of Muslims", an amateurish 14-minute film combining footage of Muslims attacking Egyptian Christians and depictions of Muhammad as a lecherous thug.
Junaid Hafeez, an academic accused of links to Facebook pages where religion and politics were discussed, is facing trial under blasphemy laws that human-rights groups describe as a tool to wage vendettas, persecute minorities and whip up mobs. Even defending the accused is dangerous. One lawyer, who received threats when he took up Mr Hafeez's case, was murdered in his office in May. His successor was attacked last month.
The ease with which blasphemy can be alleged makes discussing Islam treacherous, even for those who may be thought able to avoid slip-ups. Junaid Jamshed, a former pop star turned hard-line preacher, is unable to return to Pakistan after being accused of mocking one of the Prophet's wives in a throwaway remark about the weakness of women. Newspapers avoid giving the detail of such cases, for fear of repeating the blasphemy: one described Mr Jamshed's alleged offence as "uttering shameful words against holy personalities". When it is risky even to report on restrictions to free speech, there is little left for the censors to do.

Alessandro Beltrame was born in Italy in 1955. He studied to the Academy of Belle Arti of Venice since 1978 at 1981, at first with the Teacher Edmondo Bacci and then with the Teacher Emilio Vedova, and he graduated with the maximum vote.
He began his showing activity with pivate galleries and public Italian institutions (as the "Fondazione Bevilaqua-LaMasa " in Venice and the " Teatro Petruzzelli " in Bari), and at the same time he began the theatrical activity of scenographer and technical manager of important theatrical and dance companies, that he still develops.
He is member of the Pataphysical College "Cymbalum Patafisicum".
At first, his pictorial search addresses to an "experimental metaphysics ", and then it evolves toward the archetypal themes of the alchemy, elaborating in the meantime a technique of veilings and rarefactions of the color, in which the dripping and the frottage cohabit together with the recovery of the classical technical tradition.
At the same time, the practice of the Zen discipline addresses him to the discovery of the "tension of the void", that becomes one of the carryings axes of his pictorial search, together with the study of the atmospheric light.
"The whole arc of the time of work had to develop without pauses and afterthoughts, in a "practice of the color" like the practice of the Zen disciplines : the use of the oil colors diluted with essences of lavender, rosemary, orange tree, it doesn't allow corrections and retouching when the color is dry; the white color is only that of the preparation of cloth, and it appears only for transparency. "
Numerous work are present in some private collections in Italy and USA.

Fighting for the cures of rare genetic diseases: worthy ideas and promising results demand for strategic research management and for integration of competences and efforts
Francesca Sofia1
The fight against genetic diseases, whose aim is the amelioration of the quality and prospect of life of the patients, poses enormous challenges due to several well-known issues such as the rarity of the diseases, the scarcity of financial resources and the lack of knowledge/interest from major stakeholders of the healthcare sector. To cope with this complex and multifaceted problem, in 1990 a patient association in Italy (UILDM) founded Telethon whose mission is to advance scientific research on muscular dystrophy and all other genetic diseases with the ultimate goal of paving the way for the cures. To this end, Telethon has set an articulated strategy whose pillars are: strategic funding of science, selection of the most promising and worthy research ideas, efficient management of funded projects and exploitation of research results. Indeed, in 22 years of activity, Telethon has invested about 354 million Euros, funding 2,375 projects on more than 450 genetic diseases. Notably, Telethon research spans all steps of the research path from the most basic and preliminary phases to the clinical translation, and is increasing our understanding of many genetic diseases, as demonstrated by a wealth of high impact publications. Moreover, clinical trials for different diseases are on-going or in the process to start.
This strategy has demonstrated itself as effective in advancing biomedical research; nonetheless, it is clear that the completion of the path to make therapies available to the patients requires resources and expertise that are beyond Telethon's capacity and that typically reside within the competence of the pharmaceutical industry. This awareness has recently led Telethon to sign an agreement with a major pharmaceutical company that will allow gene therapies, performed at the San Raffaele-Telethon Institute for Gene Therapy, to enter the last phases of the developmental process for seven different genetic diseases.
The success of this agreement set the course of what is acclaimed as "collaborative model" in the field of rare diseases.
To date, there are several basic or pre-clinical research projects in Telethon's portfolio that constitute a reservoir of ideas and knowledge on many different genetic diseases and deserve exploitation. In this perspective, partnerships with pharmaceutical industries and with other stakeholders will not only lead to the completion of the path for the most advanced research projects but also free-up resources to be invested in research activities at earlier stages of development, thus feeding a virtuous circle.

Rare Genetic Disease


10 years ago I was diagnosed with NSCLC and was told that with an operation and treatment, I had 3-5 years to live .
After an upper left lobe resection followed by systemic chemo I went into remission and enjoyed 2 1/2 years of precious time. Then, a checkup revealed that I had 17 mets to my liver and a couple of "hot spots" in my lungs. At that time I joined the already very full ranks of stage 4 NSCLC patients. The day I was to begin another course of chemo, my oncologist recommended that I try a clinical trial, so I did.
My attitude then and my attitude now is "What have I got to lose?". That clinical trial knocked all the cancer away and gave me more time, but the nature of NSCLC is sneaky and persistent. Things flared up again after about a year and a half and for several years I was put on different cocktails of drugs that gradually were being approved by the FDA. During that time I continued to teach school and I lived a full and productive life.
There were some significant bumps along the way, but I'm still here. Flashing forward to the present, I am now on my 5th clinical trial which is successfully knocking back my cancer and giving me more time. Participating in clinical trials have kept me going in this chess match. They have put cancer in check several times and are key to bridging the gap from treatment to treatment.
I have seen tremendous advances during these 10 years and I feel the cure is just around the corner. I will continue to take advantage of clinical trials because I'm just too busy with life.
Also, I want more time. Time for family and friends. Time to see grandchildren being born and grow up. I just want time.
Clinical trials have made that possible.

Spearfish ist eine Stadt im Lawrence County des US-Bundesstaates South Dakota. Das U.S. Census Bureau hat bei der Volkszählung 2020 eine Einwohnerzahl von 12.193 ermittelt.

Geografie
Der Spearfish Creek ist ein schnell fließender Bach, der in Spearfish aus dem Spearfish Canyon entspringt. Er fließt ungefähr von Süden nach Norden durch das Stadtzentrum (parallel zur Canyon Street), das ganze Jahr über. Der Bach friert von unten nach oben zu, anstatt zu vereisen. Dieses ungewöhnliche Phänomen entsteht durch die sehr hohe Fließgeschwindigkeit des Creeks. Diese Geschwindigkeit verhindert, dass sich Eis bildet, außer auf dem Grund des Bachbettes, wo Reibung und Turbulenzen das Wasser lange genug verlangsamen, um zu gefrieren. Da der Bach auf diesem Eis weiterfließt, steigt der Wasserstand des Bachs allmählich an, da sich mehr Eis auf dem Grund ansammelt, was in einigen Fällen zu Überschwemmungen auf der Nordseite der Stadt führt, wo der Kanal nicht so tief ist.

Klima
Spearfish liegt in einer Übergangszone zwischen subtropischem und kontinentalem Klima. Spearfish hält den Weltrekord für die schnellste aufgezeichnete Temperaturänderung. Am 22. Januar 1943, gegen 7:30 Uhr MST, betrug die Temperatur in Spearfish −20 °C. Der Wind nahm schnell an Geschwindigkeit zu, und zwei Minuten später (7:32 Uhr) betrug die Temperatur +7 °C. Der Anstieg um 27 Grad in zwei Minuten bedeutete einen Weltrekord, der immer noch gilt.

Geschichte
Vor dem Black-Hills-Goldrausch von 1876 wurde das Gebiet von amerikanischen Ureinwohnern genutzt (hauptsächlich von Sioux, aber auch andere Stämme zogen durch die Gegend). Als der Goldrausch begann, wurde die Stadt 1876 an der Mündung des Spearfish Canyon gegründet und hieß ursprünglich Queen City. 1888 erfolgte die Gemeindegründung. Spearfish wuchs als Lieferant von Lebensmitteln für die Bergbaucamps in den Hügeln. Auch heute noch gibt es in der Umgebung einen bedeutenden Anteil an Gemüseanbau. Im 20. Jahrhundert war die Geschichte von Spearfish sehr eng mit dem Bergbau und dem Tourismus verbunden.

Demografie
Nach der Schätzung von 2019 leben in Spearfish 11.756 Menschen. Die Bevölkerung teilte sich im selben Jahr auf in 93,3 % Weiße, 0,8 % Afroamerikaner, 2,2 % amerikanische Ureinwohner, 1,2 % Asiaten, 0,1 % Ozeanier und 2,5 % mit zwei oder mehr Ethnizitäten. Hispanics oder Latinos aller Ethnien machten 2,5 % der Bevölkerung aus. Das mittlere Haushaltseinkommen lag bei 46.193 US-Dollar und die Armutsquote bei 13,8 %.

Home Culture Dr. Meena Singh Khadka: Dedicated to Education in Nepal
In the United States, we have the privilege to attend school through 12th grade, funded by our taxes. I have explained to my daughters that it is so special that we get to do this—yes, despite needing to get up early every day—because this isn't the norm worldwide.
But women like Dr. Meena Singh Khadka, who recognize the importance of education, are making a huge difference.
Dr. Khadka has a big vision that she has been working tirelessly on for over 25 years. She plans to help at least 100,000 women become literate through her educational initiatives.
"Society and nations as a whole need women to be educated," she said. And she started with her home country of Nepal.
Making education accessible to everyone is no easy task. With 81% of the population of Nepal located in rural areas and less than 20% of the total population of Nepal using the internet today, Dr. Khadka has her work cut out for her.
She began over 25 years ago by visiting and working in roughly 50 districts of Nepal so she could develop an educational curriculum for grades 1–3 that would be broadcast by radio. During that work, she realized that many of the women in the villages were being cheated because they couldn't read.
"Due to a lack of education and literacy skills, women have been increasingly subjected to unfair financial practices," Dr. Khadka said, "and their voices have been stifled in their own communities because the men think that illiterate women have little to add or provide to the development of their communities." So she developed classes in Ghandrung, Nepal, especially for these women and introduced Braille to those who needed it in the villages.
"Educating women—especially in third world countries such as Nepal that are struggling to keep up with the rapid development of modern nations—strengthens the people of the region. As women participate more outside of the home in these nations, many issues that were previously ignored have come into light." As women are educated, they find their voices and realize their strengths, which lends to the economic and social development needed for the nation to prosper.
"Reading is such a fundamental skill," Dr. Khadka said. "When the women of the village learn how to read, it empowers them to help their families. They can then learn how to support themselves and their children. Once they can read, they can learn how to do anything!" Some of these women even go on to become the primary breadwinners in their families, which allows them increasing social mobility in a region of the world where they have been historically disenfranchised.
Dr. Khadka's Meena Didi [Sister] Women's Literacy Classes in both Nepali and English are now held in several districts of Nepal in many rural villages, and the program has become a model for other projects in the region. "This program is one of the first to educate women in a country that suffers from high rates of illiteracy. Before we started, education above the primary level was unheard of." The reading curriculum is supplemented with training in vocations, including accounting, bookkeeping, health, and disaster management, especially after the devastating 2015 earthquakes which hit Nepal.
"Due, to all our efforts I have seen a change in the mindsets of women who have become more independent and leaders in their communities where previously they did not even have a voice." Today, over 79,000 women have benefited, and many of them, along with their children have joined the program's ranks as volunteers, teachers, and community aid workers.
These initiatives were all started and continue to run thanks to Dr. Khadka's own perseverance and dedication. However, she can't do it all alone. Currently, the program is in need of volunteers to teach English and educate about women's issues. "Nepal truly is an experience for all, unlike any other, and has challenges that we must all tackle together. It is much easier with like-minded people who are educated in these issues and have the skills to teach others." For more information, contact the program field director at homeforbuddhas@yahoo.com.

I've observed you've been playing a few AC/DC videos in the right margin… I don't know if that was in relation to this, but if not, figured you'd want to see it….
I am writing you to inform you that our nuclear program has once again been compromised and attacked by a new worm with exploits which have shut down our automation network at Natanz and another facility Fordonear Qom.
Hackers: they're only bad when they work for the opposing team.
Wouldn't "If you want blood, you got it" be a better musical selection?
Works in sports, too. A lifelong Red Wings fan, I hated Chicago defenseman Chris Chelios, that sharp-elbowed, dirty-playing sumbitch – until the Red Wings signed him. All of a sudden Chelios was an important and integral part of the Red Wing machine, and if he got a little dirty and rough in the corners once in a while, well, peraps complainers need to take up badminton or tiddly-winks instead.
Also, cool vid of air Indians.
Perhaps if the virus played Justin Bieber it would be more effective.
I think that selected excerpts of speeches from the late Shah would also be suitable for their listening pleasure.
They love metal in Iran, too.
I guess ACDC a warfare is under the ANZUS treaty.
BTw I heard your Marines are waking Darwinians up too early with some sort of singing at ungodly hours. More than a few STFU s yelled out from locals.
I think metal does pretty much anything these days.
Middle Eastern black metal bands are popular around here — not that I would know anything about such things in my old age, especially Iranian bands, and I was once given the name of an Israeli band which I promptly forgot. They blend belly dancing with metal.
The guy recognized the band and the piece. Interesting. I love that "infidels" bit at the end. Nice to have that label applied in the right place.
In the good old days, it was said that even the best helo was "40-thousand spare parts flying in loose formation".
I guess with these new machines, I'd up that to about "90-thousand spare parts" and maybe change it to "close formation".
Now that is a dirty deed.
And, compared to bombing, it's done dirt cheap!


The Pepsi 'Refresh Your World' campaign runs internationally, and launched in Italy in 2011. Pepsi Italia wanted a TV ad to tell creative young Italians about the campaign, and ran a competition with MOFILM and the Rome Film Festival 2010, to find the ideal spot.
Our entry was Nice Bubbles, the story of a young character whose imagination transforms dreary bits of his hometown through bright, Pepsi-coloured thought bubbles. After shooting a number of locations with our Canon 5D MII, we gave the scenes the required 'refreshment' using animated 2D illustrations, influenced by vintage poster artists like Norman Wilkinson and Frank Newbould. The spot concludes by asking the audience for ideas on how they could refresh their own worlds.
It did the trick: Pepsi Italia said the piece was right on brief, and perfectly crafted to capture the imagination of the target audience. We won first place, collected our award at the Rome Film Festival, and the ad went live on Italian TV, to launch the campaign across the country.

Living Cully is an innovative collaboration that formed in 2010 between Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East, Hacienda Community Development Corporation, Native American Youth and Family Center, and Verde. Through its work in NE Portland's Cully Neighborhood, Living Cully reinterprets sustainability as an anti-poverty strategy by concentrating environmental investments at the neighborhood scale and braiding those investments with traditional community development resources.
Click on the video, below to learn more about Living Cully!
Only 34% of Cully streets have sidewalks, 24% of residents live within ¼ mile of a park (regional average is 49%) 85% of Cully students qualify for free or reduced lunch and the poverty rate is 17% higher than the citywide rate of 13% (US Census 2010). Cully was annexed into the City of Portland in 1985 without basic infrastructure, facilities and services. Since then, investment in Cully's sidewalks, roads, family oriented businesses and other amenities has lagged behind the rest of the city. Over the past 30 years working families from many different cultures have moved to Cully making it the most diverse census tract in Oregon. Hacienda CDC, Verde and Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA) are strong Cully-based organizations with a rich history of working together and complementary strengths and activities. Living Cully formalized these strong partnerships into a collective impact model in 2010, adding an additional partner, Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East in 2012.
Together Living Cully partners create economic, ecological and social benefit for Cully residents, particularly low-income and people of color, by: increasing job opportunities and building earnings for residents and neighborhood small businesses, providing opportunities for engagement, collective action and cultural expression, expanding safe, high-quality affordable housing in the neighborhood, increasing natural and built investment including parks, trails and healthy housing, and to working to ensure low levels of involuntary displacement from the neighborhood.
