Message from the Bishop of Ardagh & Clonmacnois
The Diocese of Ardagh and Clonmacnois warmly welcomes the involvement of young people in the life of the Church. I have no doubt about the necessity of having the young generation actively participating in the life of their parishes and contributing to the welfare of the communities of which they are a part.
The Pope John Paul II Award is designed to meet the need of the time in which we live for positive encouragement and support for the young in the following ways:
By providing ongoing development of understanding of faith appropriate to young adults
Encouraging involvement in activity which is helpful to their communities
Affording enjoyable and useful support for one another
I am delighted to recommend the Pope John Paul II Award to parishes and to all who are interested in assisting young people to make the most of their gifts. The Church is greatly in need of the energy which the young can bring to its work of building up Christ's Kingdom. May God bless all who get involved in this good work.

Diocese of Ardagh & Clonmacnois Award Top-Up Suggestions
World Youth Day is an international festival of Catholic Faith organised every three years. Pilgrims who travel to this wonderful event participate in a six month preparation programme.
On a number of occasions during the year, the Diocesan Youth Ministry Team will organise youth activities such as participation in the diocesan pilgrimage to Knock, climbing Croagh Patrick, Youth Retreat Days, Glendalough trips, Knock Youth Festival, Youth 2000 Festival Lourdes and most recently Taize, or other pilgrimage activities. Participation in these activities can be part of the Pope John Paul II Award.
Many third level students undertake humanitarian trips to the Third World countries during their summer break. These trips can also provide an opportunity for Top-Ups for the Pope John Paul II Awards.

U-Boat Worx manufacteres custom made luxury submercibles. Creating the nesassary product shots, both in a studio environment and on location underwater poses many logistical dificulties. Since these submercibles are fully custom made and they only get produced on order. This means there aren't any actual models available to organise a photoshoot.
3D turned out to be the perfect solution for this problem. Based on accurate 3D models provided by the client a number of images have been rendered in both studio and location environments. These images are ideal for use online or in printed media.


I'm learning the hard way that I have a big problem with God. A problem of epic proportions. A problem that is so huge, I can no longer ignore it.
My big problem with God is that I don't see how big he is. The problem isn't that he isn't coming through for me on some repeated prayers or big issues. The problem is that I have made my problems so big that I have shrunk God down in size.
This is the word picture that comes to mind.
That's my little fingers...acting like that Kung Fu Panda balloon at the parade is so tiny that I can squish it.
When in reality, it's enormous.
But from my perspective, I don't perceive it's size correctly. So I can pretend that it's so little, I am bigger than it.
And that, my bloggy friends, is what I am coming to see is an epidemic in our world. It's the core root of multiple problems in my life. It's running rampant in the church, as well. You see it all over social media. I hear it in conversations with even my strongest of faith filled friends. I hear it in my own reply to those who ask for prayer.
I ask. I pray. But I'm praying as if I have pinched God down in size and I don't grasp his big he truly is.
Why? Because that's exactly what I'm doing. Somehow along the way, perhaps by familiarity or a variety of other reasons, I have lost the awe and awareness of how big God is.
The problem isn't that God is not big enough. It's that I have enlarged my problems, I have enlarged the role of people and their approval, and I have enlarged my circumstances. And in so doing, I have pinched God down to shrink him until he fits between my fingers.
My finite mind cannot grasp an infinite God.
So I allow doubt and my own opinions of reality and reason to do a big job of making God tiny. Instead of giving weight and credence to his omniscience and majesty and absolute power and control, I have given it away to those things that I can see and touch and feel.
Here's what happens next. Here's a true sign that you might have a big problem with God, too.
You pray and ask for prayers, as if they are last ditch efforts or hopeful wishes well beyond anyone's ability. As if you "hope" and "wish" that such-and-such might happen...but you don't really believe it will. As in, I wish I landed a book deal tomorrow with some major publisher and my childhood dreams of being an author came true.
Or, I wish my loved one wasn't sick or struggling, but it just seems to be their lot in life.
If only God could fix that.
We measure God by our expectations. We press him into our tiny boxes, with doubt and unbelief and past disappointments as our tools to do so.
We stand quaking in our boots like the Israelite army as we hear the voice of the giants in our lives, taunting us with their plans to conquer us...to squish us like a bug. And our prayers are fueled by our own efforts to say them loud enough or with the right words or in just the right way to convince God to help us. If only we could get him to do what we ask.
And as my pastor says, we approach God like a vending machine. If I put my prayer in here, then I want to get something out of it there. Okay, God, I'd like to select A6. Cha-ching. Prayer said.
So we insert our coins again. Maybe give the old machine a whack or a shake because we are just not getting what we are expecting. We aren't getting what we wanted. Therefore, the machine must be broken.
Instead of realizing that WE are the ones broken. We are the ones wrong in our approach.
David was no bigger than those Israelite soldiers. In fact, he was much smaller. He, in and of himself, had no incredible skill or talent to wield against the mocking Goliath.
The difference for David was not that the giant was smaller or that his own skills were so much greater. The difference was in his perspective.
He wasn't standing far off from God, pinching him within his tiny fingers.
He was standing right next to God, very close to him. And he thus was quite aware of who God is and how big his God is. He had seen his God equip him to win a battle or two against a bear or lion while tending his sheep. He knew, from experience and intimacy with God, that his God was bigger.
He saw Goliath as large as anyone else did.
But he saw his God like no one else did.
So who are we? Are we the ones pinching God down within our own human perspective? Or are we the ones to stand so close to him that we learn to believe him for who he is? We learn to see him for as big as he is. We grow our faith by constantly staying near our God and then, we don't approach him like a vending machine.
Instead, we approach him with a proper fear and awe.
Because we've learned not to fear the circumstance or the person or the reality in our paths. We've learned to fear the God of the Universe. We've gained proper perspective on how big God is. We've fueled our prayer life and spent time in his word so that we can think the truest things about God.
The things that allow our minds to expand in faith. Expand in belief. Expand in proper fear of the Lord. And then the boxes are ripped apart. And the enormity of our God becomes matchless in regard to any small or big thing we face.
We train our minds to ponder and meditate on these types of truths about our God.
This is what God says, the God who builds a road right through the ocean, who carves a path through pounding waves, the God who summons horses and chariots and armies--they lie down and then can't get up; they're snuffed out like so many candles.
We knock our doubts and fears off the throne and instead place God there. Turning our eyes from the things that overwhelm us to the God who rules over all. We discipline ourselves to keep a proper perspective, continually learning to grow our ideas about God and shrink all else.
To be mindful of the big God we serve. The one who spoke all things into existence is the one who can throw open new opportunities for you. The one who drowned out the evil with a flood can pour out mercy and healing and grace on your problems. The one who parted the seas to make a way of escape will surely provide an exit for your plight. The one who defeated an enemy army of thousands through a band of doubting Israelites with a jar and a light and a horn will surely equip you to overcome. The one who sustained his wandering people in a desert for forty years will care for your needs of today.
We all have spiritual amnesia. We forget how big and great and mighty our God is. And we are thus laid low by our circumstances that seem so huge.
Our big problem with God is not that our God isn't big enough to intersect our lives and reach in and turn things around and calm the storms and make a way and take care of us and bring us to freedom.
Our big problem with God is that we pray to him with words like, "if you could just...." As in only do this thing.... Or, we pray to him making demands and giving suggestions. Instead of believing him big enough to know how to figure it out. We ask others to pray, with a bit of timidity in the request. As in, it wouldn't hurt to try. Instead of a true faith and boldness that God is moved by our approach to him and he has it all figured out.
Oh, yes, I am seeing myself for how I really am. I am the girl who is pinching God down in size because I'm standing too far back. I need to draw closer. I need to push through the crowds and know that with a mere touch of the edge of his cloak, Jesus can fix what on one else has been able to fix.
I read Luke 8:40-56 this morning, and I was so struck by the story of the women who had bled for twelve years.
For twelve years, she had bled out. And the Scripture tells us that no one could fix it. But yet she chose to believe that if she could just encounter the slightest touch of Jesus than his power could change things.
So I asked myself. Where am I bleeding out in life? Where am I feeling as if I am being drained and no one can fix it? How much faith do I have in just a touch of Jesus? Do I see him for the Powerful Almighty One that he is? Confident in his touch, that the littlest encounter with a mighty God can fix what no one else can? Or does my unbelief think I need more, and I therefore approach him in prayers with a pleading, desperate and doubtful tone?
Because the truth of this story in Luke tells us this. The slightest touch of Jesus can change my life. It can cure what ails me. My Jesus can fix what no one else can.
He proved that on a cross two thousand years ago.
He proved it again with an empty tomb.
Not even death can hold my Jesus back.
Yet, my own doubt holds me back.
If I could see God for who he really is, then I would know beyond the shadow of a doubt that God has got whatever bothers me. God is weaving a beautiful tapestry with every bit of my experiences and struggles. He is writing a wonderful book, day after day, adding new chapters and plot lines. And the ending is sure. The ending is secure. The ending is victorious and beyond a happy ever after.
If I believed God for who he really is and if I believed every word in the Bible, then I would be in awe of the truths about him. I would approach him with a reverance and a holy fear and a humility and a surrender. Instead of entitlement and demands to do things my way, as if what I have figured out is as good as it gets.
If I believed God is as big as he really is, then I would hold fast to that truth that nothing is bigger than him. And when frustrations and struggles came my way, I'd be able to tell them who's boss.
Just like David told Goliath.
What have I to fear? The God of the Israelites is on my side. And then, I wouldn't flee in fear and shake in despair.
I'd instead pin all my hopes rightly so on the God capable of conquering the biggest foe.
Oh yes, I have a big problem with God. And it's all on my end. This is a startling realization. But I'm afraid I've allowed my years in the church and my familiarity with Scripture to make me callous to the absolute awe I should have for my God.
I've taken him for granted. Thus shrinking him down.
Nothing drives this point home like the epiphany I had during worship yesterday while singing The Great I Am. The lyrics say that the demons have to run and flee...at the mention of the name King of Majesty, there is no power in hell or any who can stand before the power and the presence of the Great I am.
Last week, I blogged about Luke 8 and the story of the demon possessed man.
The man fell at Jesus' feet on first sight of him. The demons within him screamed out, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God?"
If the enemies of God fall at his feet and cannot stand against him, then who are we, as followers of Jesus, to not do likewise? Who are we to not be in awe and surrendered to his mighty plans for our lives? Who are we to approach him with a doubtful and repetitious plea to give us our desired results? Instead of falling at his feet, in awe and trembling at the magnitude and majesty of his identity and saying, "Lord, what do you want with me?"
No matter what we face, God has a plan. No matter what lays us low with defeat and trembling and anger and fear, God is bigger. No matter who opposes us or what comes against us, God is the victor. He is the Alpha and Omega. The Beginning and the End. Omniscient. Omnipotent. Almighty. Sovereign. Loving. Faithful. And True.
And we can indeed trust him with our lives.
So here I am. Accutely aware of my own doubts and unbelief that have shrunk God in my view. Of my own demands and choice to fear the approval of man and my own insecurities more than I fear God. I have made people big. I have made circumstances big. I have fed my fears instead of my faith.
And it's time to stop. It's time to grow my faith and my understanding and perspective of him. And know that He delights when I do so. I am learning to ask him to help me fear him properly and see things from his perspective. Well aware of the greatness of the God who has a plan for my future.
And continually learning how small I am and how much I can trust him.
So grow big in my life, Lord Jesus! Shrink my doubts. Empower me with your Spirit.
The God who measures oceans within his hands.

Several centuries ago, the handkerchief was an essential attribute of any woman's wardrobe. After all, according to the Christian and other traditions in the old days to appear in public with her head uncovered was considered a sign of indecency for woman and for a married lady.
The views of modern society are fundamentally different from those of conservative ideas that prevailed earlier. However scarves today is not considered a relic of the past, but rather a kind of playing a role in the creative activity of designers and, of course, in the formation of new stylistic directions.
The desire to return to the classic mystery as the main reason for the popularity of scarves, shawls
Today, we feel quite comfortable in the open tops and mini-skirts. And sometimes we even hard to imagine that our great-grandmother (in chests which, as paradoxically, one can find many valuable items to create a trendy image) could not afford vyti home even with open hair.
At the same time, images of mysterious oriental beauties seem to us in its own way charming. And sometimes many of us, the real lady of the XXI century, there is a desire at least for a time to create a mystique around themselves areolas.
To embody this desire is quite possible, even without breaking the traditions of modern fashion. It is now in fashion-industry virtually no canons, and a return to the retro style and vintage in the circles of legislators approved new directions.
The second aspect of fashion scarves - the love of the culture of his native land
True patriot and all the ladies who know the history of our state, agree that once the tradition of creating unique pavloposadskie headscarves has been associated with the cultural achievements of the Russian people. And today in the classic designs and patterns of these shawls displayed a sense of aesthetic perfection, the ability to appreciate the natural resources and other features of the indigenous people (and residents) of Russia.
Also, when creating new collections of some designers take as a basis for a bright and colorful image of Russian women, in which a significant role to play pavloposadskie handkerchiefs to their living ornaments and originality. However, they can also be used for other purposes (eg, to create original models skirts or sundresses).
In addition, the sophistication and practicality models of products' pavloposadskie garter Manufactory "involves even the youngest fashionistas (especially in winter).
The role of the webs and stoles to create new images
Some strong women already know that, intending to spend the evening in a nightclub or disco with friends, is once again look into the grandmother's old wardrobe. After all, this is where we can find a piece of clothing that will help you at a time transformed into a tender and gentle princess (as well as warm during the cool of the evening). This is the so-called Orenburg "spider" of the finest and high down Orenburg goats.
However, you can and go to the pages of popular online stores down products (where it is possible to find a more modern model of shawls called wraps).
By the way, today they are available in a wide range of colors and with additional stylistic details. Thus, and confident business woman, and determined socialites, and simple romantic dreamer will be able to pick up such a unique scarf to your liking, which will emphasize their best features.
A few more words about the exotic East
Finally, we note that in Muslim countries is still preserved the tradition of wearing headscarves. These items of clothing not only decorate their owners, but also serve as an essential attribute of a unique oriental culture.
At the same time they are used as loincloths, and how seductive accessories in the performance of the national oriental belly dancing. At the same time they do Arab women unique.

I have set classification mode to hold,why still show "background classification mode was set"
Re: Anti-Virus log prompt: "background classification mode was set"
You are looking to the wrong Software Blade. Threat Prevention is for downloads. For Site classification, you need AC and URL Filtering to be changed.
Thanks,but log match anti-virusblade.This behavior is in the DNS request phase.Can't it be blocked by tp at the DNS request stage?
I have the same issue. I have put the URL filtering setting to Hold mode but still i am getting same logs of "It is allowed because background classification mode was set" in the logs.

Q: Run native android executable file outside zygote Is it possible to start a native android executable file outside of zygote?

A: I found out that daemonizing your application using the below code in my native application makes it detach from zygote.
/* Daemonize */
daemon(0, 0);
umask(0);
alarm(0);

I'm not really sure if it really is detached from zygote but that's what pstree shows me. The only downside is that all output will not be printed anymore. In my case I don't need to print anything to the user so that is fine.

Mulford Farm
About Mulford Farm
The Mulford Farm on James Lane was built in the last quarter of the 1600's by Captain Josiah Hobart. A year after his death in 1711, it was sold to Samuel Mulford. The Mulford descendants continued to live in the house until World War II, thus its present name.
The East Hampton Historical Society acquired the farmstead in 1948.

It's been almost four years since Lorde has released Pure Heroine, and I've been dying for new music. After months and months of silence, I had an idea: I was going to stop googling for information on Lorde's new album, I was going to unfollow her on social media, and see how I discovered she had new music coming out (if that ever happened).
This is not about me giving up on Lorde – I am still a faithful fan – but I wanted to see which strategies would work best when marketing her new album. I've observed that a lot of artists rely heavily on social media to update fans on new albums (not a surprise). But some artists will simply send out a tweet, they don't follow it on any other platform or stream. Some artists with massive followings can get away with this because the news will be everywhere in two seconds. Some artists are so successful (Beyoncé) they don't even have to alert fans of new albums – they just release them.
But, it's not enough to send out just one tweet and expect fans to know new music is coming – it takes a cross-promotional campaign. Or, at least, it should.
I've become interested in how artists alert fans of new music. Indeed, I originally only joined Twitter because some of my favorite artists would only update fans via the platform – I was always a step behind if I wasn't constantly checking their tweets. But then I started thinking: artists should not make their fans work this hard. I mean, they want me to buy their album, why should I do extensive research to find out if they even have a new album?
So I've selected a handful of artists (Lorde is the first) that I know are probably working on new music. And I'm not doing my usual extensive research to find out any information. Instead, I'm sitting back and just observing and seeing how they reach out to me.
For the past ten years, Taylor Swift has released an album like clockwork, every two years. So, we were sure October 2016 we would see her sixth studio album.
Then she performed on some Super Bowl pre-show thing (I don't really follow such events), where she performed "Better Man," a song she wrote for Little Big Town, for the first time. When I heard Little Big Town's performance, while Swift wasn't singing in the recording, I could hear her because of her strong songwriting style. So, needless to say, I was super excited to see that performance.
It was also at this show where she apparently stated that this show was probably her only one for 2017, and that the people in the audience was at 100% of her tour.
Before we get sad, I have a theory.
Whenever Swift releases an album, it's usually towards the end of the year and she doesn't tour or perform in the year the album was released – the tour tends to be the year after. So, for instance, 1989 was released October 2014, and her associated performances all occurred in 2015. So, if she releases an album October 2017 – which I sincerely hope she does, and it sounds like she's making one – then her tour wouldn't occur until 2018.
An absence of a tour does not mean an absence of an album.
So I was updating my phone there other day, and I noticed you can sort the songs on your phone on iTunes by how many listens, thereby showing which song you listened to the most. Interestingly enough, the song I listened to the most was "Hold Me Down" by Halsey.
I was rather surprised by this because I wouldn't say this is my "favorite" song – I mean, it would be on a list of songs I really like, but it wouldn't be my all time favorite. I will say, though, the song has one of my favorite lyrics: "throw me in the deep end and watch me drown." There's something about that line that I find rather powerful.
I encourage you to sort your music on iTunes and see your listening patterns/habits. It's rather interesting, it kind of tells you what mood you're in. When I first started #PhillipsSongOfTheDay – something that has sort of died out (I've gotten busier) – I would choose one song a day, and keep a record of it on my phone (then on this blog). Looking through the list was interesting because I could see my emotional journey or, less cringe-worthy, how my emotions fluctuated over the months.
I would be totally fine with Beyoncé, Adele, or Twenty One Pilots winning Record of the Year, but as a fake Grammy voter I cast my ballot for "Stressed Out" because find the instrumentation of it great – the synthesis string work is a real ear-grabber, and the rapped verses and sung chorus really work.
Again, I predict Adele will win all her nominations simply because she doesn't typically lose. But, hey, "Hello" is an incredible record.
2016 was a great year for albums – we got new Adele music (finally!), Beyoncé brought us the glorious Lemonade, and so much more.
It feels like every time Beyoncé drops an album, it becomes a critically acclaimed masterpiece, and she gets nominated for Album of the Year. This certainly was the case fore I Am…Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé, and now for Lemonade. And yet, she has never won. Indeed, after her loss in 2015 to Beck's Morning Phase, a lot of people were upset (granted, Beck has been around in the indie rock scene for a while, so his win isn't totally random). However, with Lemonade, Beyoncé steps up her game and provides a whole visual experience.
I would not be surprised if Beyonce did win, but I feel like the Grammy's tend to favor Adele, which technically isn't wrong – 25 did break records (it sold over 3 million copies in one week, has sold over 10 million copies to date, etc.), and it is a solid album that discusses Adele's next chapter in her life.
Song of the Year is perhaps one of my favorite categories at the Grammys because they honor the songwriter. Far too often, songwriters are not credited fairly for their work, which doesn't make sense as there would be no song if it weren't for the songwriter.
Khalif Brown, Asheton Hogan, Beyoncé Knowles, and Michael L. Williams II for "Formation" by Beyoncé.
The original version of "I Took a Pill in Ibiza" is incredibly beautiful. It has the timeless sound to it, grabs at your heart, and you truly feel Posner's pain. Out of all the nominees, Posner crafted a world that his listeners travel into, and leave feeling feeling his emptiness and loneliness. Yes, it's not a fun experience, but it's one that leaves me with goosebumps every time.
It's not that I think Adele doesn't deserve to win the Grammy – "Hello" is indeed a gorgeous song – I simply think "I Took a Pill in Ibiza" captured Posner's pain a bit better. However, out of these songs nominated, I believe "Hello" was the biggest of 2016. Adele dominated the charts, and she is indeed incredibly talented. She has a Grammy-winning streak – she's won every Grammy she has won since she released 21 in 2011. So, it seems inevitable that she will win again.
Recently, Taylor Swift released "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" with Zayn (originally from One Direction) for the new Fifty Shades movie, and while I'm excited for the prospect of new T. Swift music, I find Zayn's feature…intriguing (to put it nicely). This is because I dislike when male singers go into their falsetto voice. It's not necessary and it's rather irritating. Right from the beginning, Zayn sings in a high register – if it was going to be that high, why wouldn't Swift just sing it. To me, singing in a lower register and hitting lower notes can be more authentic and natural – using falsetto sounds almost fake (which, depending on who you talk to, is).
Now, I'm not suggesting Zayn's performance is bad or anything – he does have a nice voice, singing that high for a guy is a gift – I would have just arranged the song different if I were the producer. I would have probably had Zayn sing in a lower register and have Swift sing the major part of the chorus.
If you don't listen too closely to the song, it's not bad, but I think overall it could've been a bit better.

Are You Eating Arsenic with your Dinner?

A paleo autoimmune diet…
Many chronically ill people and those suffering from autoimmune disorders opt to follow a paleo autoimmune diet. While this blog is not about this or any other diet, I have been a clinical nutritionist for a long time and I am asked questions about gluten-containing or gluten-free grains pretty much on a daily basis, especially now since they are eliminated on the paleo autoimmune diet.
Rice is particularly relevant because it is often a staple of the gluten free diet, but people do have concerns, and rightly so, with high levels of arsenic rice may contain. I will write another blog specifically about the reasons why some people may not tolerate rice or grains even if they are gluten free, but today….
… I would like to share an expose on the heavy metal arsenic, starting with a primer on it and the research we have, the food sources of arsenic you may be consuming today, and some simple solutions (e.g. how to eliminate arsenic from foods like rice!). If you love research, start from the beginning, and if you just want to know the solutions, you are very welcome to scroll down to the end. I know many of our readers enjoy the nitty gritty of research just as much as I do. So I am adding it on!
I hope the solutions I share will make you feel a little better about this issue! Let's jump in.
Exposure to arsenic happens through ingestion, inhalation, or skin exposure (Kapaj, Peterson, Liber, & Bhattacharya, 2006). Arsenic is found in two forms.
A highly toxic inorganic form, a known carcinogen (IARC 2004; NRC 1999), comes from two sources:
Arsenic-contaminated well water, with Argentina, Bangladesh, Chile, China, India, Mexico, and the US having particularly high levels of inorganic arsenic in ground water, according to the World Health Organization.
Industry, e.g., building products, copper and lead smelting, preservative in pressure treated lumber and animal hides, in glass processing, pigments, textiles, paper, metal adhesives, ammunition, pesticides, feed additives and even pharmaceuticals (WHO; Cancer.org).
The less toxic organic form, not implicated in cancer, nevertheless still toxic, comes from foods like fish and shellfish, rice and rice products, poultry, and mushrooms (Cancer.org). In fact, even fruits and vegetables that grow in contaminated areas contain arsenic!

Symptoms of Overexposure to/Toxicity from Arsenic
Acute arsenic poisoning can cause vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea and then numbness and tingling of the extremities, muscle cramping and death (Cancer.org).
Long-term exposure can cause:
Skin, lung, bladder, kidney, and liver cancer (Smith et al., 1992)
Arsenic has also been associated with:
cardiovascular disease (Islam, 2015)
neurotoxicity (Vahidnia, van der Voet, & de Wolff, 2007)
liver damage (Guha Mazumder, 2001)
kidney disease (Zheng et al., 2014)
diabetes (Navas-Acien, Silbergeld, Pastor-Barriuso, & Guallar, 2008)
cancer mortality and all-cause mortality (Wade et al., 2009)
infant mortality (Rahman et al., 2010)
prostate cancer (Bulka, Jones, Turyk, Stayner, & Argos, 2016)
ovary and adrenal tumors in animals (Waalkes, Ward, & Diwan, 2004)
reproductive disturbances (Rana, 2014)

This certainly calls for a filtration system for drinking water in every household!
A Study on Arsenic in Breast Milk
When reviewing studies from 2016 on the effects of arsenic on human health, I decided to look into the issue of arsenic exposure to infants because it has gained the most public attention. A recent review analyzed studies on heavy metals, including arsenic, in breast milk.
This is a relevant topic because heavy metals cross the placenta and reach the developing fetus. Eighteen studies on arsenic were analyzed: the levels of arsenic were higher in areas with higher arsenic concentrations in water. The study concluded that the intake of arsenic (as well as the other heavy metals analyzed) "can be considered a health concern in most regions of the world" (Rebelo & Caldas, 2016), making this a global issue. This certainly calls for a filtration system for drinking water in every household!
Arsenic and Bottled Water
Arsenic is toxic even at low-level exposure. For example, long-term exposure to even low-level arsenic in drinking water may contribute to the development of diabetes (Brauner et al., 2014). Remember that the US ground water has been found to be particularly high in the inorganic form of arsenic.
Bottled water is another concern. Bottled water was shown in a study from 2008 commissioned by Environmental Working Group to be no safer than tap water. According to their findings, "the lab tests of 10 major brands identified 38 pollutants, ranging from fertilizer residue to industrial solvents. Pollutants in 2 brands exceeded some state and industry health standards." And here's the kicker: approximately 40% of bottled water was shown to be derived from tap water sources anyway.
Approximately 40% of bottled water was shown to be derived from
tap water sources.
Now, there is also a growing concern that arsenic may be found in bottled water too. It should not be surprising given that the World Health Organization has concerns with the levels of arsenic in ground water in the US and the fact that a substantial percentage of bottled water comes from tap water! For example, earlier this year, the Center for Environmental Health, a nonprofit organization based in Oakland, California, did independent testing and found high levels of arsenic in a few brands of bottled water: Starkey bottled water (owned by Whole Foods) and Peñafiel bottled water (owned by Dr Pepper Snapple).

Rice and Your Baby
While the fetus is exposed to arsenic in the womb, there is an increased and sustained dietary exposure during infancy. Infant foods often contain concentrated rice, so arsenic levels in baby food are a concern. FDA has called rice "the leading dietary source of inorganic arsenic" but failed to recommend decreasing rice consumption (2016). Instead, in April 2017, FDA set a limit of 100 parts per billion for inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereals. When FDA had tested 76 samples of infant rice cereals from retail stores for inorganic arsenic, about half of the samples contained levels higher than 100 ppb, most exceeding it only slightly (FDA, 2013).
FDA has called rice "the leading dietary source
of inorganic arsenic"
A study published in JAMA Pediatrics just in June 2017 showed an association between rice consumption and arsenic levels in infants in the first year of life (Karagas et al., 2016). Data included 759 infants. Data on rice and rice product intake was collected at 4, 8, and 12 months from birth. Urinary arsenic and commonly reported rice products were tested for arsenic. At 12 months, among infants that did not eat fish or seafood, arsenic concentration in urine was higher in the infants that ate rice cereal (9.53 microg/L) or rice snacks (4.97 microg/L) compared with those who did not eat rice or rice products (2.85 microg/L; all P < .01). Infant rice snacks contained between 36 and 568 ng/g of arsenic and 5 to 201 ng/g of inorganic arsenic. How does that relate to the FDA's 100ppb? I am honestly not sure. But no arsenic exposure is good to a human, and especially if that is an infant.

Adrenals and Thyroid
Another important aspect of arsenic, which I believe may not be discussed enough, is its effect on the endocrine system, especially the adrenals and thyroid. This is particularly relevant considering how many patients under chronic stress and with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's Thyroiditis I and my colleagues see clinically and how ubiquitous arsenic is in our immediate environment: water, air, and food.
Just being exposed to arsenic in polluted air on a job as an urban
traffic policeman can affect thyroid markers.
Arsenic is now considered an endocrine (gonadal, adrenal, and thyroid) disruptor (Sun et al., 2016). The proposed mechanisms of this toxicity include arsenic methylation, oxidative stress, and binding of arsenite to thiols (sulfur-containing compounds). According to this latest review, however, we need more research to look into these toxicity mechanisms. Effects of arsenic on thyroid, including its key nutrient, selenium, are actually quite well established (Meltzer et al., 2002). Just being exposed to arsenic in polluted air on a job as an urban traffic policeman can affect thyroid markers (Ciarrocca et al., 2012). What did surprise me was not being able to find more studies on adrenal impact of exposure to arsenic. A very old study from 1915 discusses adrenal enlargement as well as congestion and hemorrhage (in acute cases) in an animal model (Brown and Pearce, 1915). This topic warrants more research.
Arsenic and Viral Infections?
This brings me to the final topic of my latest clinical interest: individuals with underlying and misdiagnosed viral infections (especially chronic EBV). Given the detrimental effects on health of even a low dose of arsenic as previously indicated, I am intrigued by the potential involvement of arsenic as a substrate for viral replication, based on some anecdotal evidence that viruses thrive while feeding on heavy metals. I only was able to find one study from 2015 that confirmed the researchers' clinical observations of zoster virus reactivation from high doses of arsenic exposure (Cardenas et al., 2015). This was a cross-sectional analysis of 3,348 participants in NHANES from 2003-2004 and 2009-2010, so a substantial group was studied. It would be interesting to see more studies looking at changes in EBV virulence during arsenic exposure.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that viruses thrive while feeding on heavy metals.
Arsenic in Your Poultry
It is disturbing that arsenic has been fed to poultry in the US since 1940s. The arsenic-containing drug Roxarsone has been added to chicken feed to improve growth, kill parasites, and improve pigmentation of the chicken meat—at a certain point, about 70% of the chicken bred for food in the US were fed this medication.
Despite FDA calling for its removal in 2014, it is unclear what percentage of these chickens are still exposed to it, and neither FDA nor the Department of Agriculture has actually measured the level of arsenic in the poultry meat that you may be consuming!
The Rice Dilemma
Arsenic has made its way into soil, water, produce, and poultry through pesticides and poultry fertilizers (chickens were fed arsenic for decades). As a result, it is unescapable from our food chain. Rice tends to absorb arsenic more readily than many other plants, and therefore it has been the most controversial arsenic-related food outside of chicken.
Consumer Reports has tested various grains concluding that brown rice had on average 80% more arsenic than white rice of the same type because arsenic accumulates in the outer layer of rice that is stripped to make white rice. White rice from Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri was among the highest in arsenic, while basmati rice from California and sushi rice from the US were the lowest. By the same token, brown basmati from California, India, and Pakistan are probably the safest sources of brown rice—they contained only about one-third of the amount of arsenic as compared to other types of brown rice.
Brown rice had on average 80% more arsenic than white rice of the same type because arsenic
accumulates in the outer layer of rice that is stripped to make white rice.
Consumer Reports also tested other grains:
Gluten-free grains: buckwheat, amaranth, polenta, grits, and millet had negligible levels of arsenic
Gluten grains: bulgur, barley, and farro contained negligible levels of arsenic
Quinoa, a gluten-free grain (technically a seed) had "average" levels of arsenic (Consumer Reports 2015)
My reservation is that they did not test organic versus commercial rice, although they claimed that organic brown rice would absorb the same amount of arsenic as non-organic rice. I am not what they based that aassumption on.
Soaking rice overnight and then cooking it
in five of water to one part of rice decreased arsenic by up to 82%.
Solutions to the Arsenic Dilemma
Install a water filter on your tap water, making sure it filters out arsenic (e.g., Berkey with the addition PF2 filter).
Skip bottled water. Travel with your own glass or stainless steel water bottled filled with your own filtered water.
Avoid concentrated rice products like rice drinks, foods, or beverages sweetened with rice syrup, baby foods, and rice snacks.
Avoid or limit consumption of commercial poultry.
If you love rice, choose basmati from California (e.g. Lundberg Farm), Pakistan, or India (of course, choose organic). I would still urge you to pick brown rice and follow the instructions below!
Get rid of arsenic from your rice: First, soak your rice in filtered water overnight. Then rinse it and cook in fresh water in a ratio of 6:1 water to rice. Once the rice is cooked, rinse it again! Andy Meharg PhD, a professor of molecular biosciences at Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and Michael Mosley, a TV host of Trust Me, I'm a Doctor, did a test and found that soaking rice overnight and then cooking it in five parts of water to one part of rice decreased arsenic by up to 82%. Soaking helps release arsenic from the rice (arsenic is water soluble) and excess water means you can then still rinse off any remaining arsenic that went into water after cooking. The US Rice Foundation goes further and advises to make the ratio of water to rice six to one, so that is what I would recommend. Once the rice is cooked, remember to rinse it again.
Supplement with selenium: 200mcg goes a long way. We have it available here.

So thoughtful, as always. When/if we can eat rice again, we'll follow these prep instructions. This is the first and only place I've seen a strategy for removing arsenic. Wonderful.

What would it feel like to prepare a truly life-changing meal? Just ask ICE Culinary Arts alum and hospital nutrition expert Pnina Peled.
As the senior executive chef at New York Presbyterian and the former executive chef at Memorial Sloan Kettering, Pnina has spearheaded the dramatic transformation of New York City's hospital food over the past five years.
Before she was customizing nutrient-dense menus for sick patients — and even before she worked in some of NYC's top kitchens — Pnina's circumstances were just like the average ICE student.
Raised by a family of restaurateurs, her weekend wake-up call was literally, "Time to make the donuts!" She dreamed of pursuing a career in medicine, but her family encouraged her to stay close to home, so she did and earned her college degree in business management.
Initially, Pnina made rent by working in the accounting department at a law firm. While she excelled at her job, she knew accounting wasn't her calling, so she enrolled in ICE's evening Culinary Arts program to launch a new, creative career.
The restaurant was called Nisos, and under Pnina's guidance it quickly became one of the hottest tables in town. "The concept was to reimagine Greek food with French techniques. I was there for two years, and the restaurant was so successful that we were packed every night. During brunch, there was always a crowd." Nisos attracted the attention of other restaurateurs, and soon Pnina was brought on as the executive chef of Aleo, another Mediterranean restaurant in Gramercy.
"The investor behind Aleo wasn't from the industry — he was a Wall Street guy. Thank god I had worked in accounting, because I ended up running everything, from the kitchen to the front of the house [and more]." After one year, that restaurateur offered Pnina a stake in the business and she became an operating partner. During and after her time at Aleo, Pnina also picked up freelance catering and consulting work for a number of small restaurants in the city.
Eventually, she was hired by an Italian hotel chain — Jolly Hotels — as the executive chef for the Cinque Terre restaurant on 38th and Madison. There, she received three stars from the New York Times. Pnina continued working in hotels, including the New York Helmsley, but something shifted when she gave birth to her first child. "I started reading all these books about nutrition and nursing," explains Pnina. "That sparked a huge interest for me in how food relates to your health." So when she saw a job opportunity at Memorial Sloan Kettering, Pnina knew she had found her match.
"Sloan Kettering was a whole other ball game. It required me to bring together all my experience in various parts of the business. I was in charge of in-room patient service, cafeterias that fed about 3,000 people a day, food sold in the gift shop and adjacent cafes — you name it." Under Pnina's leadership, MSK scored in the 99th percentile of all American hospitals for its food quality, temperature and service.
What's more, Pnina implemented food cost measures across the hospital's culinary division, dramatically increasing revenue for the hospital's food and nutrition department. In fact, Pnina's name became so synonymous with a revolution in hospital food that she received a dedicated feature in the New York Times. Even with these thrilling figures, what inspired Pnina most wasn't the opportunity to brandish her exemplary business skills.
After five deeply satisfying years at Memorial Sloan Kettering, Pnina moved to New York Presbyterian's Columbia campus. There she serves everyone from celebrities and politicians in the VIP amenities unit to the catering, food service and retail for the rest of the campus. Four senior-level chefs report to Pnina to help bring this incredible task list to fruition each day. In just a year and a half, she has been able to cut down on food waste, improve the quality of the food and boost food service revenue considerably.

Bonnie and Clyde the Musical
stageagent.com
Kara Green, Staff Writer
Bonnie and Clyde the musical was released in 2009 and was created by Frank Wildhorn. The lyrics were written by Don Black and had a book written by Ivan Menchell. It follows the surprising true story of the couple Bonnie Parker (played by Laura Osnes) and Clyde Barrow (played by Jeremy Jordan). This musical appeared on Broadway in 2011 and did not do well. I however liked the music and the story.
The story of Bonnie and Clyde has always been an interesting one. The couple were lovers and criminals who travelled the country robbing people and killing whoever go in their way. To base a musical off of the killings and lives of a crazy couple was imaginative. The story was also represented well in the music. For example the song This World Will Remember Me. This was when Bonnie helped Clyde break out of prison and he kills someone. It is a very powerful song and a good song overall.
Another great part of the musical was the music. It was not the normal music that you would expect from a musiccal. It was jazzy and exciting and very different sound. It fit the time period and transported you back into the time of the Great Depression. It also did not really make me think about murder. It was the type of music that people dance to.
Overall, it was a good musical. It was not great but it is definitely one that I would watch in my free time. Total review of 3.5/5 stars.

Subject's Castration
Lacanian notions of castration are linked to frustration and deprivation, lacking and giving, and ultimately to object relations. These represent a certain culmination of the history of psychoanalytic thought on the subject. To better define their importance, let us examine their history.
Starting in 1905, Freud posited a theory of object relations that would be linked to the stages of libidinal development (Freud, 1905d). He later proposed that the loss of feces should be considered as the precursor of the castration complex (Freud, 1916-1917e). Thus the Freudian concept is "absolutely realist."
It fell to August Stärke, in a long and important article published in 1921, to expand this theory by proposing that the breast no longer be considered the first lost object and the model for castration anxiety. Instead he recommended that masochistic pleasure also be connected with castration anxiety, which is expressed as a desire to receive the penis.
In 1928, building on theories advanced by Karl Abraham in 1924 and on thoughts that Freud expressed in 1926 about the peculiarities of the castration complex in the woman (Freud, 1926d), Melanie Klein differentiated between early anxiety in boys and girls. A boy's anxiety involves castration and a girl's the good internal functioning of her body.
Thus there is a continuous strand of Freudian thought that considers the object as tangible and castration as a reality. Even an author like Bion did not depart from this line (Bion, 1959). For him, links and attacks, the breast and the penis, are always quite real—even if their reality is only fantasmatic.
Jacques Lacan revolutionized this tradition. For him, castration fundamentally pertains to the subjectivity of the subject. It derives from a symbolic debt, linked to the prohibition against incest and murder. In the real, the subject observes that a woman lacks a penis. Thus the relation to an object is just as much a relation to the lack of an object, the object existing just as much by its absence as by its presence.
Lacan claimed that the necessity of this revolution was justified by what had become the "heteroclite nature of the castration complex" (Lacan, 2002, p. 306). He suggested this in the complete form of his graph of desire, where we find the unconscious and the Other on the one hand and the barred subject on the other. Then, successively, there are the signifier and the voice and then jouissance and castration related to "the drive as the treasure trove of signifiers" (p. 302). Castration means, "that jouissance has to be refused in order to be attained on the inverse scale of the law of desire" (p. 311).
For both sexes, the phallus is "the signifier destined to designate meaning effects as a whole" (p. 275) and "the signifier of the Other's desire" (p. 279). As such, castration is not directly related to the reality of the penis. In fact, this relation is problematic and requires several operations: "It is thus that the erectile organ—not as itself, or even as an image, but as a part that is missing in the desired image—comes to symbolize the place of jouissance," that is, as "the function of a missing signifier: ( 1)" (p. 307). "The shift of ( /) (lowercase phi) as phallic image from one side to the other of the equation between the imaginary and the symbolic renders it positive in any case, even if it fills a lack. Although it props up ( 1) it becomes F (capital phi) there, the symbolic phallus that cannot be negated, the signifier of jouissance" (p. 308). The castration complex is "incited" by the object ( /) that designates it in its imaginary function.
The Lacanian revolution corresponds to a complete separation of dialectic from intersubjectivity, the very kernel of Freudian thought. This dialectic is expressed in the schema RSI, which represents the real, the symbolic, and the imaginary. Castration is inscribed therein as related to frustration and deprivation, as Lacan showed in his seminar on object relations (Lacan, 1956-57).

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – City Manager John Russo has issued Riverside's first biennial report, chronicling accomplishments from the past two years and setting the stage for the City's next two-year budget, which will map out Riverside's financial priorities through June 30, 2020.
The report which can be found online at www.bit.ly/Biennial-Report also details a recent reorganization at City Hall that aligns city departments under Russo's leadership and that of three assistant city managers to most effectively carry out the priorities of Mayor Rusty Bailey and the Riverside City Council.
The report sets the stage for the next five months of budget deliberations that are scheduled to culminate on June 12 with the adoption of a new 2018-20 budget. The City has scheduled an extensive public outreach campaign, with meetings of the City Council and Budget Engagement Commission, as well as community meetings in various council wards around the city.
Key themes in the budget preparation process include striving for financial accuracy; maintaining financial responsibility and discipline; taking care of essential services and infrastructure, with the help of the Measure Z local sales tax; and implementing a transparent and participatory budget deliberation process. Each of those themes is buttressed by a commitment to excellent customer service.
Changes at City Hall detailed in the Biennial Report include creating a new Innovation Division to drive change within City government, and restructuring the Internal Audit Division into the new Office of Organizational Performance and Accountability to focus on providing services in the most cost-effective way. The changes utilize existing employees and do not increase costs. Each change is designed to enhance Riverside's focus on innovation, organizational excellence and taxpayer accountability.


The Arab Arts Focus (AAF) program made waves at the 70th Edinburgh Festival Fringe last month, despite numerous challenges caused by visa rejections by the UK.
The program, that ran August 4-27, showcased stories on stage from Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Palestine, and Morocco, through 10 theatre and dance performances curated by an esteemed international selection committee, in addition to a series of seven talks.
Most of the plays ran throughout the month-long festival, with some of the performances getting a half-run, across three of the renowned festival's most distinguished venues.
AAF was brought together through a collaboration between the Tamasi Collective, Scotland's Kenmure Productions, and Orient Productions and the D-CAF festival, both founded by Ahmed El-Attar.
While AAF has been a fixture of every edition of Cairo's D-CAF festival, this is its first year to go international, finding the perfect place to launch under the auspices of the Fringe, one of the biggest arts festivals in the world.
Performances from the MENA region have made it to the Fringe's previous editions, yet this is the biggest collection of shows, offering a more intense presence of Arab art, revealing its diversity, catalyzing its development, and allowing for a wider understanding of the region.
"We hope that this creates room for underrepresented narratives to facilitate the possibility of future exchanges and collaborations between artists and institutions from the Arab world and those from Scotland and the UK," El-Attar said in a press release.
Perhaps Arab artists are no strangers to challenges, often performing under difficult economic and political circumstances.
It was still disheartening that the AAF program suffered because of inexplicable visa rejections from the UK Home Office, despite being backed with institutional support and the proper paperwork.
"A total of 25 got their visas. However, 22 people had theirs rejected. Seven of them applied twice and only two got it on the second attempt," Basma Hamed, Orient Production's marketing, and PR manager told Ahram Online.
The biggest number of rejections were from Egypt, followed by Palestine and Syria.
"Seven production team members were refused, including the technical director. One of them didn't even get a reason for the rejection, and with others, there were claims that the documents were not there, even though we provided more than what was asked for," Hamed says, adding that they were troubleshooting until the last minute to make things work.
The issues cost them several changes in a program they'd been working on since the start of 2017, and a lot of money between re-applying for visas or bringing new people on board at the last minute.
The performances were a means of sharing stories on what's happening in the Middle East, away from media depictions and stereotypes. It is ironic that the visa rejections issue is in itself a telling story, highlighting the background struggles Arab artists face in trying to have their voices heard and their art seen.
Performers weaved this into Chill Habibi, a laid-back cabaret-inspired show staged every night with different sketches, mixing theatre, comedy, dance, and music from Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Morocco, and Scotland. Among the sketches were people reading out visa rejection letters.
"One of the highlights was when [award-winning British actress] Emma Thomson dropped in to watch Chill Habibi after the local PR met her in Summer Hall at the festival and invited her. She even read one of the letters," Hamed said.
Thompson's presence added a brighter spotlight to the already hot topic of visa issues and attracted attention from the international press, all denouncing the Home Office for stifling opportunities for artistic exchange.
One of the dance shows was particularly hit hard. The Dance Double Bill had three people's visas rejected: dancers Hamza Damra and Nagham Saleh, and choreographer Yazan Iwidat.
Egyptian choreographer and dancer Shaymaa Shoukry was in luck when dancer Mahmoud El-Haddad was already in Europe, and on such short notice canceled his flight to Egypt to be the replacement for Saleh.
Together they created a new dance, The Resilience Of The Body, in four days. An excerpt of the original dance Mayohkomsh was screened, as was the full performance of Running Away by Iwidat and Damra.
"The silver lining is that this show got nominated for the Total Theatre Award, chosen from among 3,500 shows and 200 dance performances," Hamed said.
For Shoukry, this whirlwind of events was even more surreal and serendipitous.
She was working on The Resilience Of The Body at the Cairo Contemporary Dance Centre as a solo, and never planned for it to be performed internationally.
"That's because it's very much related to Cairo and frustrations experienced there. But it turned out to be very artistically relevant to what happened; it's also about an inability to express, what we do if we can't change, what is possible in this stage, post-dreams," Shoukry told Ahram Online.
This worked better than having El-Haddad perform Mayohkomsh instead of Saleh.
"Nagham's solo was like a portrait of who she is. If El-Haddad just copied it, it becomes a flat remake, which is not interesting to me. I like things to be coming from within, working with the dancer and having an artistic exchange," Shoukry says.
The two had previously worked together and knew that their styles were very different.
"I had to share my artistic vision with a replacement in just four days. El-Haddad would never have been my first choice, but I'm so glad we did this together because his energy, enthusiasm, and openness to try new things, made this a very special and positive experience," she adds.
The Resilience Of The Body also received the Summer Hall Award, which is granted from the board members of Summer Hall, whom Shoukry says were very attentive and supportive to the AAF throughout the Fringe.
According to Hamed, Fringe-goers could be heard talking about AAF at the other venues and shows, a testament to the impression the program left.
All shows at the festival are reviewed and rated real time. "Jogging [from Lebanon] took five stars, some shows took 3 to 4 stars, Chill Habibi took 4 stars, which are all very good ratings," says Hamed.
Other shows within AAF critics and media hailed include Taha, a monodrama interweaving the work of the revered Palestinian poet Taha Muhammad Ali (1931-2011) with his compelling biography.
Some performers, emerged with new opportunities and contacts, fulfilling one of the AAF's aspirations.
"I got invited to hold the performance at Dancing On The Edge Festival in Holland, so I'll be doing that in November. But I still wish to do it here [in Cairo] as intended," Shoukry says.
"What is holding us back here is holding us back everywhere, anywhere we go. They [at the Fringe] were very eager and curious to receive us but faced censorship in some way. Because if you limit who comes in to you, eventually you are censoring on the inside too," adds Shoukry.
As for future plans for AAF, Hamed says the goal is to run it in alternating years between Egypt and abroad.
Despite encouragement from the Fringe to return again, it is hoped to hold it in a different country each time, to expand its outreach.

Despite the fact that there are several significant similarities between liberalism, nationalism (as well as socialism), and communitarianism, by and large, these philosophies are still different from one another. Many politicians agree on what can legitimize state actions; they, however, tend not to accept some specific aspects of those actions while focusing on the issues associated with the economy, sociology, and psychology and ignoring philosophical aspects.
Today's reality is that it is Bollywood movies that are more known than Indian pieces of literature serving as a basis for theatrical productions. There is literally no one who would not watch or hear about Indian movies. However, Indian theater art and plays are no less outstanding and significant for Indian culture. The point is that theater art and literature are of long-standing origin, and therefore, it would be wrong to assume that theatre plays are less noteworthy.
The word of God has sounded a great number of times in many places around the world in many forms and in many circumstances. It was always aimed at people's conscious and thoughtful belief and repentance.
Ideology is a reflection of social being through the prism of social group or class interests. The purpose of ideology is the development of value systems in justifying what should be and should not be in the civilized social world.

O primeiro-ministro dos Países Baixos () é o chefe do poder executivo dos Países Baixos e o presidente do Conselho de Ministros. O primeiro-ministro é de facto o chefe de governo dos Países Baixos e coordena a sua política com o seu gabinete. O atual primeiro-ministro holandês é Mark Rutte, no cargo desde 2010.

O primeiro-ministro preside as reuniões semanais do Conselho de Ministros e tem o poder de definir a agenda dessas reuniões. O primeiro-ministro é também Ministro dos Assuntos Gerais ( Ministro van Algemene Zaken ), que assume um papel importante na coordenação política e é responsável pelo Serviço de Informação do Governo (Dutch: Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst ). O primeiro-ministro também é responsável pela casa real e tem uma reunião semanal com o rei sobre a política do governo. Informalmente, o primeiro-ministro funciona como o "rosto" do gabinete para o público. Após as reuniões do gabinete na sexta-feira, o primeiro-ministro organiza uma conferência de imprensa sobre as decisões do gabinete e assuntos atuais. O primeiro-ministro também tem algumas funções em assuntos internacionais, participando do Conselho Europeu a cada seis meses e mantendo contatos bilaterais. O gabinete do primeiro-ministro é uma torre em forma de hexágono, chamada "A Pequena Torre" ( Torentje ), no Binnenhof em Haia . A residência oficial (que é usada apenas para funções oficiais) é a Catshuis ; o último primeiro-ministro a viver no Catshuis foi Dries van Agt . O titular Mark Rutte vive em um apartamento no centro de Haia. O primeiro-ministro não tem detalhes de segurança.

Indicação
O sistema eleitoral holandês torna quase impossível para um partido ganhar uma maioria absoluta na Câmara dos Representantes; nenhuma das partes fez isso desde 1900. Por isso, os governos holandeses são sempre coalizões entre dois ou mais partidos. Depois de cada eleição, a Câmara nomeia um "escuteiro" para procurar conselhos sobre como interpretar os resultados eleitorais. Com base neste conselho, a Câmara nomeia um informador para verificar possíveis coligações e conduzir negociações entre potenciais parceiros. Se for bem sucedida, a Câmara nomeia um formador, que conclui as conversas entre os membros da coalizão em perspectiva. O formador é quase sempre o líder do maior partido da futura coalizão e, portanto, é o primeiro-ministro indicado. Antes de 2012, o monarca teve um papel considerável nessas conversações, mas as reformas em 2012 eliminaram em grande parte a influência real no processo.

Geralmente, são necessários vários meses de negociações antes que um formador esteja pronto para aceitar um convite real formal para formar um governo. O monarca então nomeia os ministros e secretários de estado (ministros juniores), que então renunciam seus assentos na Casa.

Um ministro do partido de coalizão menor geralmente se torna vice-primeiro-ministro dos Países Baixos. Se houver uma terceira ou quarta parte na coalizão, cada um tem o direito de nomear um de seus ministros, segundo e terceiro vice-primeiro-ministro.

História
Gradualmente, o primeiro-ministro tornou-se uma função oficial do líder do governo, tomada pelo líder político do maior partido. Desde 1848, o papel do primeiro ministro tornou-se relevante. Naquele ano, a Constituição dos Países Baixos foi alterada para tornar os ministros responsáveis perante os Estados Gerais, em vez de - como até agora - serem responsáveis perante o rei, que atuou como o líder do gabinete. Até 1901, o cargo de presidente do Conselho de Ministros oficialmente alternava entre os ministros. Entre 1901 e 1945 a posição formalmente ainda girou, mas políticos proeminentes conseguiram reivindicar um período de rotação de quatro anos.

Em 1937, foi instituído um Ministério dos Assuntos Gerais separado, informalmente ligado ao primeiro-ministro. Barend Biesheuvel (1971–1973) foi o último primeiro-ministro que não era o líder político do maior partido no gabinete, mas na verdade o terceiro maior. Em 1983, a função do primeiro-ministro foi estabelecida na constituição.

A posição do primeiro-ministro foi reforçada pela criação do Conselho Europeu. Em novembro de 2006, as regras de procedimento do conselho de ministros foram alteradas para permitir que o primeiro-ministro colocasse qualquer item na agenda do conselho, enquanto antes ele precisava esperar que um ministro tomasse a iniciativa. Uma mudança nas regras de procedimento do gabinete em julho de 2008 permitiu que o primeiro-ministro orientasse outros ministros sobre os custos da Casa Real, que são cobertos por vários ministérios.

Ex-primeiros-ministros vivos
Há dois ex-primeiros-ministros holandês vivos, o mais velho sendo Dries van Agt. O ex-primeiro-ministro mais recente a morrer foi Wim Kok, que serviu de 1994 a 2002 e faleceu em 20 de outubro de 2018, aos 80 anos.

Países do Reino dos Países Baixos
O Primeiro Ministro também é Presidente do Conselho de Ministros do Reino dos Países Baixos e, portanto, também lida com assuntos que afetam os outros países Aruba, Curaçao e Sint Maarten no Reino. Os gabinetes independentes de Aruba, Curaçao e Sint Maarten também têm seus próprios primeiros-ministros: Evelyn Wever-Croes (Primeiro-ministro de Aruba), Eugene Rhuggenaath (Primeiro-ministro de Curaçao) e  (Primeiro-ministro de Sint Maarten). O Conselho de Ministros do Reino dos Países Baixos inclui o Ministro Plenipotenciário dos outros países do Reino. Estes não estão incluídos no governo do reino.

Vice-primeiro-ministro
O rei nomeia vice-primeiros-ministros. Convencionalmente, todos os parceiros juniores da coalizão recebem um vice-primeiro-ministro; eles são classificados de acordo com o tamanho de suas respectivas partidos. O vice-primeiro-ministro sênior preside a reunião do gabinete quando o primeiro-ministro não está presente. No actual gabinete do Terceiro Rutte, Hugo de Jonge preside a essas reuniões como primeiro vice-primeiro-ministro dos Países Baixos, sendo os outros vices Kajsa Ollongren e Carola Schouten . O membro mais antigo do gabinete preside a reunião quando o primeiro-ministro e todos os vices estão ausentes.
