With all of this buzz about finding our "purpose", there's one thing that's been missing from the conversation that is very important.
And that is… the power of context.
There are 3 levels of work - a job, a career, or your purpose. Let's first distinguish between the 3 before we move on.
A job is something you do out of necessity. It is purely a means to an end. You show up just for the paycheck, and for the most part, you look forward to the day coming to an end.
A career is a bit more long-term. You see your job/role as part of a longer path or period of time. You want to get better at what you do, get promoted, progress and develop in that role. This career, however, can be in anything. It doesn't have to be one in which you leverage your natural talents or one that you are particularly passionate about. But you are drawn to keep advancing in whatever field you are a part of.
A purpose is something that is tied to your identity. You see, what you do is part of who you are - because you're "pouring your soul into it". And most likely, once you are operating at the level of purpose, you almost can't see yourself doing anything else. At the level of purpose, you don't need to motivate yourself because the motivation comes naturally. Some say this is considered being in the flow - or in the zone. At the level of purpose, you see your role as part of a much greater picture, and you can see how your work is a genuine contribution to others. And when you are tapping into your purpose, you're most likely using your natural talents - those gifts that you have that you were meant to use - to make the world better in some way.
And why is it worth it to put in the effort to be operating at the level of purpose? Well, because what you do for work is the single greatest driver of your overall wellbeing and quality of life.
People with high purpose wellbeing are more than twice as likely to be thriving in life overall.
Why? Because it consumes the most hours of your life. Most likely you identify yourself with your work (it's often the first question you get asked from strangers right?). And it's the primary place or area of life where you have an opportunity to be developed by others (your peers and managers).
This is where the power of context comes in.
Having an authentic sense of purpose in life has very little to do with what your actual job or role is, and has almost everything to do with the way you perceive it - or said another way - the context in which you view that role.
A Yale psychologist, Amy Wrzesniewski studied how mental conceptions of our jobs affect performance. She found that there are doctors that see their work as only a job, and janitors who see their work as a calling because the meaning of your work is completely constructed by the individual.
So how can you alter the mindset or context from which you view your work?
Literally, take the time to think about how you would write about what you do in a way that instills a sense of purpose.
What are some of your biggest dreams in life?
How can you backtrack from those dreams to see how your current job can help lead you to that?
What key lessons are you learning about life through your current role?
What is your current job teaching you about yourself?
How does your role contribute to the mission of the company?
How do you make your customers lives better? What would they say after interacting with you?
What role do you play on your team? Is your purpose to help people work together better, more amicably, more productively?
What does the result of your daily tasks lead to?
No matter how small the task, there's always a way to connect it to something you care about.
See the key is not just to find your purpose, you must also learn to find purpose in your work.
And in doing so, you will find the hidden gems of life that exist in the present. You'll start to notice how everything you're doing right now, has meaning and adds value to your life. You'll stop only looking forward to the future, and you'll savor everything there is to learn in the moments… today.
"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future."

French's Mustard Beer and 8 Other Fun Brand-Brewer Collabs
More brands than ever are kicking back with a cold one
By Amy Corr on Dec 13 2022 - 10:30am
Do you like your beer to taste like beer? That's not me. I'm all for beer that's sour, sweet or tastes like coffee. I'm also wildly fascinated whenever non-beer brands partner with a brewery to create a limited edition run of quirky flavored beers.
While many breweries are no stranger to unique partnerships, brands tend to be more hesitant when contemplating a beer collaboration.
For this story, we spoke with brands, agencies and breweries to learn about the origin stories of some of these partnerships, why they're popular, and what it takes to make them successful.
French's Mustard x Oskar Blues Brewery
An idea born during the pandemic—mustard beer.
To virtually celebrate National Mustard Day on Aug. 1, French's teamed up with Oskar Blues Brewery to create a mustard beer. So you can get your mustard from a bottle and your mustard beer in a can. Makes sense.
A small amount of cans were available to ship throughout the country on Aug. 1 and were sold out by mid-morning. Remaining cans were available at the brewery's taprooms in North Carolina and Colorado.
Aaron Baker, senior marketing manager at Oskar Blues Brewery, says the company has done numerous collabs with non-beer brands—most recently with CamelBak to launch its ChillBak backpack cooler—but the partnership with French's was the most unique. "It was the type of challenge we really dig—utilizing unique and unexpected ingredients to make beer people want to drink," Baker says.
The collab came together thanks to a mutual connection the brewery has with one of French's agencies. Fifteen barrels were produced—passion fruit, key lime, lemon and tangerine flavors were added to compliment the mustard. The end product was a salty and tart beer.
French's also produced a 10-step video that takes viewers through the beer-making process:

Snyder's of Hanover x Captain Lawrence Brewing Co.
Pretzels and beer is a winning combo, but what about pretzel beer?
When the pandemic canceled Germany's Oktoberfest two years in a row, Snyder's of Hanover unofficially stepped in and released two limited-edition Snyderbiers with Captain Lawrence Brewing Co. so fans could participate in their own virtual Oktoberfest. There was a Märzen classic Oktoberfest brew and Frücht, a passionfruit and guava ale, both brewed with Snyder's of Hanover pretzels. Some 8,000 units were produced and sold online and at local retailers.
"Some people jump on the [beer] bandwagon to be trendy. There is no why," say Gabriel Jardim and Guto Monteiro, ECDs at VMLY&R, the agency behind a multimedia campaign. "Snyder's of Hanover has a strong connection with Oktoberfest. Pretzels and beer merge—both made a lot of sense. They care about heritage and wanted to keep the celebration going, sans event."
Ora Peas x RVK Brewing Company
In Iceland, Ora peas are a Christmas staple, so much so that the brand does the bulk of its yearly sales around the holidays.
The brand wanted to further increase sales and brand recognition at Christmas, so it came up with another canned product for family gatherings—Christmas beer. RVK Brewing Company used Ora peas and red cabbage in the recipe, which gave the beer a holiday-esque red hue.
Since alcohol advertising is illegal in Iceland, Ora sidestepped those rules by creatively promoting its peas in a beer glass, topped with red cabbage as foam. The first beer batch, available in bars and in state controlled liquor stores, sold out in one day.
Ora Christmas Beer
"It started as a joke but escalated quickly as a disruptive idea," say Björn Jónsson and Kristján Gauti Karlsson, creative director and copywriter, respectively, at Pipar\TBWA, which worked on the project. "Icelanders have become quite accustomed to all sorts of different and weird Christmas beers over the last few decades, and some brewers have made a point of brewing some interesting variations of beer all year round. As a consequence, Christmas beer tasting is becoming something of a big tradition as well. Icelanders are quite crazy about their weird beers, and a lot of them are collabs."
Once the idea was greenlit, the first batch was ready to taste in two months.
"We wanted the collab to improve brand equity, increase brand awareness and elevate the image of an everyday product in a stable market," the pair tell Muse. "But we also wanted to reconnect Icelanders to their favorite Christmas side dish."
Squatty Potty x DuClaw Brewing
We've written about coffee and poop, but never beer and poop—until now. For the past few years in March, DuClaw Brewing has created a limited release beer, Sour Me Unicorn Farts, an homage to Diablo Doughnuts' unicorn farts doughnut.
Upping the promotional ante each year can be a challenge, as can convincing men to get screened for colon cancer. Now there's a segue. So DuClaw partnered with Squatty Potty to create the "Give a Crap Challenge," where folks traded their poop—to be screened for colon cancer—for beer.
"Craft beer brands tend to collaborate with other craft beer brands," says Madeline Caldwell, managing partner at 212 Communications. "A few years back, we intentionally chose to pursue non-beer brand collaborations, and it really helped sales and awareness of DuClaw take off, and supported their mission to invite everyone into the craft beer community."
An 80-second ad showcased Squatty Potty's infamous unicorn mascot on the porcelain throne as a voiceover explains the "booty bartering." Those selected to receive a test kit received one from Everlywell. Then, DuClaw sent a 6-pack of beer via CraftShack to participants, and Squatty Potty sent a free stool so participants can effortlessly release their stool.
Trade Your Poop For Beer! | Give A Crap Challenge
Rachel Bradley, marketing manager at DuClaw Brewing Company, tells Muse that the companies plan to partner again in 2023, and host pop-up events in multiple states.
Hardee's x Southern Grist Brewing Co.
Hardee's, known for its biscuits made from scratch, celebrated National Biscuit Month this year with a beer made from biscuits and strawberry jam. The company teamed up with fellow Nashville brand Southern Grist Brewing Co. to create a Strawberry Biscuit Ale, its first partnership in the beer and spirits industry.
"Hardee's saw this as an opportunity to bring a heritage menu item into the culturally relevant craft beer space," a CKE spokesperson tells Muse.
Two sold-out batches of beer were available at Southern Grist and Tavour.com—but not at any Hardee's location. The beer was concocted a year ago, with Southern Grist brewing test batches in the spring.
"We started with the core ingredients for an ale and then had 200 pounds of Hardee's biscuits delivered to Southern Grist to capture the flavor profile," says the CKE spokesperson. Hardee's received the spike in social media and PR it hoped for and "emphasized Hardee's biscuit equity, made the brand more culturally relevant and reached a new demographic."
Brooks Running x Deschutes Brewery
Here's a collab that speaks to runners who love to cap off a long run with a cold beer.
Seattle-based Brooks Running teamed up with Oregon-based Deschutes Brewery for a "Run Hoppy" partnership. Limited-edition Brooks Ghost running shoes—4,000 in all—were decked out with beer mugs, glasses and growlers. Additional merch included "Run Hoppy" socks and trucker hats, plus shirts and tanks featuring a spilled can of beer. The spilled beer is in the shape of the Brooks logo. Deschutes also brewed a limited-edition "Run Hoppy Golden" IPA that was available at the brewery's Bend and Portland, Oregon, pubs.
"The design process for our collab product was really engaging, and we learned a lot about beer and the Deschutes Brewery's brand as we wove them into the design, like in representing their red color or including their hops designs in the print on the shoe," says Derek Lactaoen, manager, product marketing, at Brooks Running. "One of the fun challenges we had to work through was getting the condensation effect right on the logo to mimic what it looks like when you have a fresh, cold beer in a pint glass. We were really excited with how that turned out, but it took a few tries between design and material selection."
This was the first time Brooks participated in a collaboration that was outside of sponsorship opportunities. To create the beer, Deschutes surveyed runners for their ideal post-run beer and created a brew with a low alcohol content (5.5 percent) with hints of biscuit, cracker and honey.
NBC Universal x Elysian Brewing
Some heroes and villains are known for having signature drinks, but we're diving deep into villain territory.
Chucky is the star of the Child's Play horror movie franchise—a lovable child's doll until he was inhabited by the soul of a serial killer. He's now the star of the Chucky TV series, running on SyFy and USA Network.
Ahead of the Season 2 premiere, NBC Universal reached out to Elysian Brewing to brainstorm ideas, and the final product was a pumpkin witbier infused with cranberry juice, pumpkin puree, chamomile and cinnamon. "The recipe we used was actually an iteration of a recipe that stemmed from an internal employee contest, from our supply chain manager, Robbie Hall," says Nick Mallory, senior director of marketing for Elysian Brewing.
The label was designed in-house by the brewery's three graphic artists, using photography provided by NBCU.
The process of naming the beer went through many different departments. Of 30 ideas, they chose one that came from senior marketing communications manager Lindsay Wiley. Some 2,000 cases were produced and sold out in five weeks.
"We want this collab to further cement our place as an innovator in the industry, and one who is always bringing bold experiences to our consumers and fans, as well as bringing new fans to our brand," Mallory tells Muse. "We've previously partnered with Def Leppard, Rolling Stone, the Seattle Seahawks and the Seattle Sounders. Elysian is an edgy Seattle brand born from the grunge-fueled, flannel-laden cultural scene of mid-'90s Seattle, and the Chucky brand fits in perfectly with that aesthetic."
Below, watch a 60-second ad starring Chucky and an unlucky Elysian brewmaster that takes place after-hours inside the brewery.
Elysian x Chucky: A Killer Wit Beer
Madame ZuZu's x Hop Butcher for the World
Chicago-based Hop Butcher for the World teamed up with a Chicago-area tea shop to create a beer that celebrated the 30th anniversary of Gish, the debut album from The Smashing Pumpkins.
Jeremiah Zimmer, co-founder of Hop Butcher for the World and uber Smashing Pumpkins fan, sent some beer to Madame ZuZu's Teahouse, owned by lead singer Billy Corgan and his wife, Chloe Mendel.
"The story goes that they had the box on a shelf and one of their team members happened to be a big fan of our beers and encouraged them to open it up and try it," says Zimmer. "That's when I got an email from Chloe inquiring if we'd be interested in doing some form of tea beer collaboration. A few weeks later, we all got together to taste through teas and beer and talk recipes when Chloe brought up the upcoming 30th anniversary of Gish. We didn't have much time to pull it together, but everyone came together to make it happen."
The tea collab was placed on hold to focus on Gish, giving Hop Butcher for the World three weeks to create the beer and design can art. They produced 250 cases of Soul Head—named for the type of amp used by Corgan on the Gish album—and sold the beer for $15.99 per four-pack or $30 for two four-packs. Due to the limited production, beer was available in-state only.
"We don't intentionally single out non-beer collabs, but we've done a few before," Zimmer tells Muse. "We did one with Ditka's Restaurant Group called 'Witka' and another with Garrett Brands over a holiday chocolate mint stout that uses the same Frango mint oil used in the making of the chocolates."
That beer/tea collab that was placed on hold to promote Gish? It's launching later this month. Called ZuZu's Winter Garden Pale Ale, the beer will use ZuZu's Tropical Spiced Clementine tea and was named by Corgan. Canning will take place Dec. 14, and a launch party will be held at ZuZu's on Dec. 16.
Earlier this year, another singer rooted in Chicago—Wilco's Jeff Tweedy—put his face on a beer can to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album.
Bigelow Tea x Stony Creek Brewery
Another beer and tea collaboration launched just this week, this time between two Connecticut-based companies—Stony Creek Brewery and Bigelow Tea.
No Comment is a German-style lager infused with Bigelow's Constant Comment, a black tea with orange peel and sweet spices. Carpe Tea-em is a Hefeweizen brewed with Bigelow's Earl Grey Tea. Once the unfermented beer is brought to a boil, the tea is brewed into the beer, then hops are added.
"We were looking for unique Bigelow Signature flavors that consumers will not only be familiar with but also recognize as they taste the beer," says Dan Shannon, CEO of Stony Creek Brewery. "Bigelow Earl Grey has the most distinct flavor. Beer and tea are both not as simple as they sound. Both products can be made with simple ingredients yet will taste completely different based on how they are made."
The biggest collab challenge, according to Shannon, is which flavor leads the taste profile.
"There were challenges as at times many flavors were conflicting and competing with each other," he says. "How much tea flavor should the beer have? Should it be beer or tea flavor forward? We knew we needed it to be one cohesive finished beverage and not just taste like tea being poured into beer."

How the Gunfights in North Mexico That Left 23 Dead Unfolded
VILLA UNION, Mexico—When dozens of pickup trucks crowded with armed men and mounted machine guns roared into Villa Union, residents of the small town near the U.S. border began to realize they were the target of a military-style invasion.
What followed were hours-long gun battles between a cartel force estimated to number from 70 to 150 men and state police that left 23 people dead. At least 50 homes and buildings were riddled with bullet holes.
In the aftermath, authorities found about 20 abandoned vehicles, some with machine-gun turrets and welded armoring; the doors of many were professionally printed with the initials of a drug cartel. At least four had .50 caliber mounted machine guns. Residents claimed there were at least twice that many pickups, with some escaping.

In a statement Tuesday, the Coahuila state government raised the death toll by one from 22 previously and said 10 suspects had been arrested.
How the Day of Terror Unfolded
Residents on the east side of Villa Union—the side closest to the border city of Nuevo Laredo where a splinter of the Zetas cartel had its base—started seeing convoys of pickup trucks rolling into town. At first, many saw the ammo vests the trucks occupants were wearing and thought they were police or soldiers.
"My brother-in-law counted 50 trucks, but there were more on the other side of town," said one man.
One shop owner counted 20 trucks but stopped counting when he saw that some had Texas plates—or no plates at all. He knew that meant they werent police.
Others began seeing pickups with the letters "CDN" on their side. "CDN" stands for "Cartel del Noreste," or "Cartel of the Northeast," one of the splinter groups of the old Zetas.
People Began to Hide
The shop owner who noticed the odd license plates quickly went into his shop and hid behind the counter. The attackers descended from their vehicles with assault rifles and as soon as the shopkeeper closed his door, they began firing on the town hall.
"You dont know what to think at a moment like that, you just hide," said the shop owner. Outside, an ambulance and a police patrol truck were shot up. The truck caught fire and burned.
A block away from the town hall, a grandmother pulled her two grandchildren into an armoire to shield them as a hail of gunfire rang through the town. "It seemed like an eternity passed," she said.
Beside the town hall, the objective of the attack, parish priest Federico de Los Santos was in his church along with a half-dozen parishioners when the gunfire began. They threw themselves to the ground as the bullets flew.

One young man, who was walking down the street in the towns center when the gunfire broke out, pounded on a food stall where the 71-year-old owner was starting to roast chicken. He banged until the owner let him in to take cover. They huddled inside.
"Id never seen a shootout like that except in the movies," said the stalls owner.

Maine inmate who had escaped 3 times dies in custody
Arnold Nash, 68, was serving a 45-year prison sentence for killing his former neighbor in 1991.
WARREN — A man convicted of murder in Maine who escaped from prison three times has died in custody.
Arnold Nash, 68, died Thursday at the Maine State Prison in Warren, the Maine Department of Corrections said. The state Attorney General's Office and Medical Examiner's Office have been notified of his death, which is standard procedure, the Bangor Daily News reported.
Nash was sentenced to 45 years in prison for beating his former neighbor, Wilbur Gibeault, to death in the Hancock County village of North Sullivan in 1991.
He was set to be released early, in 2019, but he fled from the Mountain View Correctional Facility in Charleston in 2018.
Convicted murderer who escaped Maine prison is recaptured
He previously escaped from Maine Correctional Center in Windham in 1973 and the Maine State Prison in 1981.
Nash managed to avoid capture for several days when he went missing in 2018. He was eventually located several miles down the road from the facility he fled.

Mitra Saboury
Grand Union & Millenium Point, Birmingham, UK
BY Tom Emery in Reviews | 24 OCT 16
For 'Pulling Walls', her first UK solo show, LA- and London-based artist Mitra Saboury has delved into the heart of the British post-industrial landscape. The exhibition is the result of her two-week residency at Grand Union last July and demonstrates her understanding of the surrounding area of Digbeth, formerly the industrial heart of Birmingham, now host to much of the city's artistic activity. But rather than providing a history lesson, Saboury plays with our perception of space and place, resulting in absurd, visceral and often disgusting displays.
Acting as a prologue, the film installation Cavities (2015) showcases the work produced while the artist was in residence. In a neatly intimate act, Cavities sets four short films into gaps within a brick wall, forcing the viewer to stoop down and peer inside, re-creating the sort of urban curiosity that Saboury demonstrates throughout her work. Cavities is dryly humorous: in one instance, the artist washes herself and brushes her teeth in a puddle, the simple leap of logic creating an absurd juxtaposition.
In the main gallery space, the rest of the exhibition unfolds as though a single installation. Push On (2016) serves to contain the exhibition, with Saboury coating the gallery windows in a viscous layer of silicone, appearing like smeared Vaseline on the glass. This gesture transforms the experience of the show into something that feels almost illicit, the semi-permeable layer of silicone allowing light to pass through, but keeping the viewer hidden from external onlookers. In the corners of the room are four identical film installations with television stands and chairs coated in thick, rough layers of concrete. The concrete implies a degree of longevity but, as this summer's notable demolition of Birmingham's iconic, brutalist Central Library attests, permanence is always illusory. Saboury's work addresses Birmingham's troubled relationship with concrete: heavily bombed during World War II, much civic infrastructure was rebuilt using the material, but the recent destruction of the Central Library as well as the original Bull Ring centre (the UK's first indoor, city-centre shopping centre, which opened in 1964), reflect the contemporary city's discomfort with this self-image.
Saboury's films play like bizarre jokes: in Hag (2016), the camera is focused on a hole in a brick wall, which the artist proceeds to fist, but not before coating the rim with lipstick. Clocking in at one minute and 35 seconds, Hag comes off as a quick and dirty one-liner: a laugh at the unexpected anthropomorphization of this seemingly innocuous structure. The built environment similarly comes to life in Blister (2016), in which Saboury squeezes and presses various surfaces – from holes in walls to loose layers of cladding – releasing oozing substances resembling pus or blood, giving life to the image of urban decay.
More of Saboury's work is shown in a radically different context in a second, off-site display. In the cavernous atrium of the multi-purpose venue Millennium Point, a selection of her films are displayed on non-descript monitors, occasionally taking their turn centre-stage on the huge suspended screen that dominates the room. Unfortunately the scale of the space leaves the work stranded – added to which, there is no schedule for the films on the main screen, which may frustrate those who have visited specifically to see them. By scaling up in terms of space and audience, Saboury finds herself in a much more restrictive environment and, until she is able to claim authority over such
a venue, her work will function more powerfully when exhibited in the gallery.

Abstract: ADATA is not a memory brand we're really familiar with here in North America, its main audience has been Asia. The company is now making an effort to catch our attention, so let's test first, then form our opinions.
Are you ready for some really great news!? Here it is - DDR2 memory prices are falling like a rock. While most consumers have no need for DDR3 RAM right now, it's introduction has relegated DDR2 to an "old technology" status. The best part is for the majority of computer users, DDR2 still offers superior performance to the new memory standard. Strange I know, but that's the way it always goes. New memory standards are designed for future platforms, so for those of us sticking with an Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad processor or who have plans to pick up a 65nm processor, DDR2 memory is still the best route to take. In six months that could all change, but what doesn't in the computer industry?
While DDR2 memory prices have been dropping, the quality of the memory being released has improved dramatically. These days you can get a quality 2GB low latency DDR2-800 memory kit for well under $100 CDN, talk about a value! Whether you're building a new PC or want to upgrade your current computer, now is an excellent time to grab more DDR2 memory.
There are a lot of memory options on the market...if you're a novice that's lost, here's a helping hand. You will want DDR2 memory running at 800 MHz or higher, that can run tighter timings (say 4-4-4-12) instead of the industry standard 5-5-5-15. Most 2GB dual channel memory kits (2x 1GB) are super affordable, so all you really need to do is ensure your PC still has two free DDR2 memory slots. Dell sometimes cheap's out and packs all four memory slots with 512MB or 256MB modules instead of two 1GB, or 512MB memory modules.
A-DATA is not a memory brand we're really familiar with here in North America, its main audience has been Asia. The company is now making an effort to catch our attention, so let's test first, then form our opinions. Looking at the specs the A-DATA Vitesta Extreme Edition DDR2-800 memory has all the makings of a high end DDR2 kit; 2GBs of PC2-6400 dual channel goodness, Enhanced Performance Profile support (EPP), 4-4-4-12 memory timings and a pretty swanky bright red memory heatsink.
The best part of the 2GB A-DATA Vitesta Extreme Edition DDR2-800 memory kit is its price point, just $60 CDN ($63 USD, £30 GBP); talk about a steal.
To get the A-DATA Vitesta Extreme Edition DDR2-800 memory to run with 4-4-4-12 timings, it's recommended that you increase the voltage to 2.0-2.1V (1.8V is DDR2 stock voltage). A-DATA definitely thinks highly of its memory and offers a limited lifetime warranty with its memory. Should you have any problems, there's even a phone number on the back which you can call. The toll free number, not printed on the packaging is 1-888-YO-ADATA (96-23282).
To help protect the fragile BGA DDR2 memory modules and the PCB from damage, A-DATA equips the Vitesta Extreme Edition DD2-800 memory with a custom red aluminum heatspreader.
The Vitesta Extreme Edition memory has a thick thermal adhesive to secure the heatsink to the DRAM modules. Needless to say, you're probably going to damage the memory module if you attempt to remove the heatsinks.
Okay, enough of that, the real measure of memory can only be found by overclocking and benchmarking it.
That's up next in this PCSTATS review!
On Intel Socket 775 Core 2 Duo test systems, we're only interested in seeing how high we can go with the DDR-2 memory running 1:1, as running with other dividers puts the overclocking bottleneck elsewhere and not with the system memory. The DDR-2 RAM latency must run at its lowest possible setting, as quick access is more important to the CPU design. Just for arguments sake, we will also be conducting overclocking tests to see how high the memory will go with lax timings (5-5-5-15), although we will only benchmark the system with the tight memory timings mentioned above.

Monsignor Richard Lavalley
Twenty-seven-year-old Richard Lavalley was ordained to the priesthood on May 16, 1964. In his more than fifty years as a priest, Monsignor Lavalley has worked tirelessly for thousands of parishioners and, at a time when many of his peers are retired, he shows no signs of slowing down. Besides presiding over St. Francis Xavier Parish and School for the past 22 years, he is also the Vicar for Clergy for the Diocese, a member of the Rice Memorial High School Board, and Chaplain at Norwich University.
Monsignor Lavalley has always had a love for Catholic education. His first assignment as a priest was at St. Peter's in Rutland where he was active at the parish school and taught religion at nearby Mount St. Joseph Academy. He served as principal there for nine years. Even after leaving Mount St. Joseph for the parish and diocesan work, Monsignor would make a point of serving Mass or teaching classes at local Catholic schools. He has been Chaplain at Norwich University since 1987, making over a two-hour commute at least weekly during the school year.
His greatest gift to Catholic education is the love and leadership he brings to St. Francis Xavier School. He attends board meetings, leads teachers' retreats, advises administrators, meets with parents, presides over the school Masses, hears confessions and, most importantly, is there to counsel and console whenever someone needs him. To paraphrase Pope Francis, it is a demanding life, but full of joy.
Monsignor often mentions his special connection to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. "She has been with me all the way," says Monsignor, speaking of his life as a priest. "She is the first one I go to in the morning and the last one I go to at night." It is fitting that a priest who perpetually helps others feels a bond with Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Thank you, Monsignor, for all you do.
Father Joseph Sanderson
We welcome our new Parochial Vicar, Fr. Joseph Sanderson, to Saint Francis Xavier Parish and School. Fr. Sanderson comes to us from Christ the King/St. Anthony Parish in Burlington where he served for two years following his ordination in 2017.
Born in Middlebury in 1990, Father Sanderson is the eldest of the three children of Jennifer and John Sanderson. He grew up in Orwell and attended Fair Haven Union High School, Our Lady of Providence Seminary, Providence College and St. John's Seminary in Boston. At the time of his ordination, Father Sanderson said. "It will be a great honor, privilege, and joy for me to serve the people of this great State of Vermont, to labor for souls in this little corner of our Lord's vineyard."

Railroad Response
About the complaint about Monday night's train, that train was a celebration ride for EMTs and emergency responders to say thanks from the railroad. I think it's terrific the railroad would do that, and I bet that your house wasn't there before the railroad tracks.
First of all, the conductor does not drive the train or blow the horn — the engineer does. Second of all, how do you know that he had no reason to blow the horn? There are several paths to cross the tracks, and kids are on them all the time. I worked on the railroad for 35 years, and if you've ever seen or had to pick up a teenager (struck) on the tracks because they were wearing headphones, you will never forget it. …
Hire Locally
In regard to the city manager opening position, now would be a good time for the city of Loveland to use local companies to search for a new city manager. Looks like the out-of-state search firms they are currently using are not very capable.
Trump v. Judge
Regardless of what Trump has said about that judge, the judge has deep ties to Clinton and (gave) money to Clinton. He belongs to, through his law practice. where his partners have donated deep-pocket money to Clinton, and so on and so forth. So a lot of that is valid. Why is mainstream media overlooking that?
Tourist Traffic Forecast
It's 7:30 in the morning. I'm driving east on Carpenter Road that is County Road 32. The traffic is nearly bumper to bumper heading for Interstate 25. Can you even imagine what the traffic is going to be on they build that ridiculous water park east of I-25 and bring in 430,000 more people to drive on the streets and on I-25? That's complete madness to allow that park to be built. We will not be able to drive in this area once that thing is in operation.
Ali's Legacy
Muhammad Ali was convicted in 1967 for refusing to report for the draft after his local draft board rejected his application for conscientious objector status. That ruling was overturned by the Supreme Court on an eight to zero vote. He lost four years in the prime of his boxing career for standing by his beliefs. If you are going to call someone a draft dodger, you should look toward those who went to Canada and Sweden or fought tooth and nail to maintain a deferment. As a two-tour combat veteran, I only wish that our political and military leaders had been as principled as Muhammad Ali.

Why Monopolies Are Bad: Withoutabox's Film Fest Stranglehold
Why Monopolies Are Bad: Withoutabox's Film Fest Stranglehold
Anthony Kaufman
No one likes a monopoly. Even an anti-capitalist like me knows that a lack of competition leads to higher prices as well as less freedom and innovation for everyone in the marketplace. That's why the story of Withoutabox, the film festival submission system that is the undisputed standard for the indie film industry, caught my attention, and why I've reported on the company for this Indiewire story, "Why Withoutabox Has 400,000 Indie Filmmakers, 1,000 Film Festivals — and Frustrated Customers."
The central issue with Withoutabox is, by most accounts, a technological one. Users complain that because of the lack of competition, there is little incentive to truly overhaul it. While I was assured by a company head that they've made improvements and continue to make improvements, several festival directors and staffers still have plenty of complaints.
As Austin Film Festival executive director Barbara Morgan told me, "Last year, we had 1,000 online submissions, and I didn't watch one film through that system that didn't have a technology issue," she said. "It was constantly freezing. And that's not the way to watch a film. And it's not the way an emerging filmmaker should have their work shown. If filmmakers are using this service in significant numbers, Withoutabox should have the sufficient technology to support it."

Is "The Hunger Games" Anti-Capitalist Cinema for the 99%? Or Anti-Gov't Agit-Prop?

I should say that I was told repeatedly that Withoutabox aren't bad people, and that there is a welcome level of transparency and efficiency at the company, particularly since it was purchased by Amazon.com subsidiary IMDB.com. But with greater corporate powers and controls also comes a greater bureaucracy. And perhaps the most annoying part of writing this story was that I was denied access to a Withoutabox staffer who I know to be a friend to the film industry and to Indiewire; instead, I was sent to a IMDB.com PR person, who then asked me to send questions to an executive by email. I guess that's the way things work in the corporate world, but I know plenty of film festivals and filmmakers who welcome a more simpler and easygoing approach and time.
As Morgan said to me, "Before Withoutabox, it was easier to be a festival, we did our own marketing, we could track our own marketing, we reached a tremendous amount of filmmakers on our own. When we went the way of Withoutabox, that opened up all kinds of issues…. I guess the biggest issue with them is that we didn't really need them, and then we had to pay for something that we didn't really need."

News - Morris Leslie Plant Hire On The Acquisition Trail Again
Morris Leslie Plant Hire On The Acquisition Trail Again
National plant hirer Morris Leslie Plant Hire Ltd has continued to expand its fleet and depot network with the acquisition of Surrey based Chertsey Plant Hire. 5 years, to the very week, since the company purchased 3 depots from Ambrose Plant Hire.
The acquisition is part of Morris Leslie's continued growth strategy to offer local service on a national basis and follows the purchase of 4 Hewden sites at the start of 2017 increasing their national network to 13 depots. The company, a Profit Track 100 firm, which principally hires telehandlers, excavators, dumpers, rollers and access equipment and it has seen its plant hire fleet grow from 500 units to 5000 in just 5 years.
Chertsey Plant Hire was a natural choice for Morris Leslie as it strengthens its presence in the south east and the two companies have excellent synergies, both having been established in the 1970s and have built their strong industry reputations for possessing modern plant fleets, backed by great customer service and support.
Graham Ogilvie, Managing Director, of Morris Leslie Plant Hire, said on completion of the deal that, "We are delighted with the purchase as Chertsey are a long established and well-respected industry name. The move consolidates our position as one of the leading hirers in the country, expanding the core fleet by a further 500 assets, 250 of which are telehandlers, and adds another great location to our national footprint. Chertsey's fleet is younger than industry norms but over the coming months there are plans to further refresh their fleet in line with our overall profile which sees an average age of below 2 years."
Following the acquisition, Morris Leslie's overall fleet has grown to over 5000 high quality machines. They already have the fastest growing telehandler fleet in the UK and with this purchase it will see the number of telehandlers available to Morris Leslie customers grow to over 2000, all from JCB and Manitou.
Chertsey's, Managing Director, Gary Balle said, "I am relishing the opportunity to work with the new management and pleased to see that Morris Leslie already have an investment plan in place to replace and expand our fleet. We are confident that this will enhance our existing high-quality fleet and Morris Leslie's larger infrastructure will allow us to support our customer's nationally."


We're pleased to announce that Tor Books has acquired the North American and audio rights to the first five books in Huang's fast-paced, science fiction thriller series, and will be releasing a revised edition of Zero Sum Game (previously self-published) in September 2018!
Acquiring Editor Diana Gill said, "I could not put this down—it's [the] geek answer to Jack Reacher and Jason Bourne, but completely accessible to those of us without super math skills." The Cas Russell books have been praised not only for deriving super powers from mathematics, but also as an #OwnVoices book series with a protagonist who is a woman of color, written by a woman of color.
S.L. Huang justifies her MIT degree by using it to write eccentric mathematical superhero fiction. Her short fiction has appeared in Strange Horizons, Daily Science Fiction, and The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2016. She is also a Hollywood stuntwoman and firearms expert, where she's appeared on shows such as Battlestar Galactica and Raising Hope. Her proudest geek moment was getting to be killed by Nathan Fillion. The first professional female armorer in the industry, she's worked with actors such as Sean Patrick Flanery, Jason Momoa, and Danny Glover, and been hired as a weapons expert for reality shows such as Top Shot and Auction Hunters.
She's currently on a film hiatus in Tokyo, but you can find her online at her website or on Twitter as @sl_huang.
The revised hardcover edition of Cas Russell's first adventure, Zero Sum Game, will be available September 2018 from Tor Books.

Interview with Alyxx
Posted by Shannon Wilk | Jun 28, 2020 | Interviews, Reviews | 0 |
Recently we caught up with New York rocker, Alyxx. She started her career by posting YouTube covers which grew to her making incredible original solo music beginning in 2017. We hope you enjoy this interview!
Hi! I'm great! How about you?
I'm doing great!
Could you introduce yourself to the FemMetal readers and talk a bit about your band?
My name is Alyxx and I'm the lead singer and songwriter for my band ALYXX. I spent most of my life in theater, but was always writing music on the side. Writing and performing has always been a part of me. I started this project back in April of 2017. Prior to that, I wasn't happy where I was in my life and knew that I just needed to be on stage, singing my own music. Since then, I have released 3 singles, and a self titled EP. The band consists of Frank Bohr on guitar and Zaki Ali on drums. We've played at numerous venues throughout the east coast. I tend to write about personal or experiences that are close to me and always try to find the positives through everything.
Who would you name as your biggest musical influences when it comes to both singing and writing music?
Evanescence, Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin were huge inspirations growing up. Amy Lee has always been one of my biggest influences vocally. Growing up I never had that raspy voice that I would always associate with rock music, but Evanescence opened my eyes to a whole side to the rock world. I also grew up performing in theatre, so composers like Stephen Schwartz and Jason Robert Brown also had a huge influence on me.
Could you describe how your musical style has evolved from your first release up until your latest release?
My first single "Taking Over" had a lot of pop elements to it. It was the first song I had written for this project. My latest single "My Last Goodbye" definitely sits outside the box sonically. I play piano and love adding strings and synth to every song. I would say my sound has evolved and become more symphonic rock/metal.
You recently released your latest single, "My Last Goodbye". Can you talk a little bit about the meaning behind that song?
The song is about leaving a toxic relationship. Everyone has experienced some level of toxicity in their life. Could be with a significant other, drugs, alcohol, a friend. The song is a reminder that life is too short to spend it being miserable. It's about coming to the realization that you would be much happier if you simply said goodbye and moved on.
How did you go about putting your band together?
I had collaborated with my guitarist Frank for years, so when I decided to embark on this project, it was only natural to work with him. When I decided I was going to release an EP and was looking for a drummer, I was introduced to my now drummer Zaki, through a mutual friend. It came together very organically.
If someone has never heard your music, what song of yours would you recommend they listen to first?
I would say, start with my single "Taking Over". The song was the product of my frustrations and I think it can be very relatable. Singing that one live is very therapeutic for me because it was the spark that ignited this journey. It's also pretty catchy. If you go through my music starting from the beginning and work your way up, you can really hear the transformation and evolution of my sound.
Have you experienced sexism in the industry and if so, how did you handle it?
I'm fortunate that I haven't really experienced any sexism at this point in my career.
What is coming up for you in the near future?
I am currently working on another single, which I plan to release this summer. I will also be performing at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival this September! I would love to play more shows, but given the current state of the world, it looks like that will get pushed until 2021.

I Will Never Pray To Be a Minister, Says JAMB Registrar
Jessica gistlover
On Monday, the Chief Executive/The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Prof Ishaq Oloyede said he will never pray to be a Minister.
Oloyede, who said this while representing the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, at the first quarterly meeting of the Nigerian Inter-Religious Council (NIREC) in Abuja on the theme: 'Education for peace and nation building' said: "I am called to speak for the minister and I am not a minister and I am not praying to ever be one. I believe that I should say that the Honorable Minister and the administration are committed to the development of education in the country".
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF) Boss Mustapha assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari was doing everything possible to resolve the level of insecurity and high cost of living in the country.
He said the current administration will bequeath a prosperous nation to its successor.
Mustapha, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, General Services, Office of the SGF, Maurice Nnamani, urged the leadership of NIREC to continue to appeal to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to call off the strike in the interest of a safe and prosperous nation.
He appealed to everyone to continue to preach peace and harmony with your neighbors and strive towards nation building.
He said: "We have serious problems in Nigeria and the rest of the world. What is happening in other countries should be of concern to us in Nigeria. Innocent people died by this action. We have to always speak against violence anywhere because if we do not do so we will face serious questions from our creator in heaven".
The President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Co-chairman of NIREC, Rev. Samson Ayokunle condemned the attack on Kaduna Airport by bandits last Saturday.
He blamed government and security agencies for allowing what he described as an embarrassing incidence to occur.
The CAN boss faulted the government's and security intelligence gathering mechanism, warning that the same situation could repeat itself anywhere else if the government does not tackle it.
He blamed ASUU for not yielding to the advice of NIREC not to go on strike and also described their action as 'impatience'.
Ayokunle however advised the government to resolve the lingering issues with ASUU.

Featured Military News U.S. Marines
Two Marines injured during explosion at air station in critical condition
Two Marines were critically injured after being burned in a flash fire in a jet late Sunday night, June 25, at the air base, officials said.
The incident occurred at 10:18 p.m. when a fire broke out in a F/A-18 while two Marines from Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 112 (VMFA-112) were performing routine aircraft maintenance, said Major Kurt Stahl.
Both Marines are being treated at UC San Diego Regional Burn Center, Stahl said.
Flash fires can ignite suddenly from a combination of air and a flammable liquid or gas, usually around electrical equipment. These short-duration fires can be of high intensity and extremely dangerous, he said.
The fire was put out by the air station's crash fire unit within minutes, Stahl said.
VMFA-112 is a Marine Corps Reserve unit based out of Fort Worth, Texas. Stahl said the Marine unit was training at the Marine Corps Air Station for some time.
Officials said the incident is under investigation. The identities of the two Marines have not yet been released.

As more and more people ask more and more from their bodies, injuries to their bodies are becoming a normal part of our society. Things like vigorous interval training and extreme endurance races like mud runs are becoming commonplace. Also there is an increase in the popularity of extreme sports like X Games that involve great risk of injury. Even traditional sports like football and baseball can result in cringe inducing videos of athletes getting hurt.
Yoga is a form of exercise that comes in many different forms. At its foundation, yoga encourages a joining of the spirit and physical body. There are many disciplines and classes offered that anyone from a beginner to advanced athlete can find a class that suits their needs.

In order for you to consistently fit exercise in your daily routine, you have to enjoy it. Be honest with yourself, if you think running is best for weight loss and you don't like to run, chances are you will quit. There is a wide variety of fitness classes, and group interval training sessions that can keep you engaged and motivated. Most studios or gyms offer free 1 day guest passes, making it easy for you to try it out before you commit.
Planning ahead is very important part in achieving weight loss. Try to think ahead one week at a time. Write down your schedule. Include doctor appointments, meetings and social events. This will give you an idea as to which days are best for scheduling workouts. The next step is to put your exercise sessions on the calendar and give it high priority. If your schedule is jammed during the day, consider sacrificing evening and late night T.V. watching to get enough sleep for an early morning workout. Exercise in the morning can fire up your metabolism and energize you. You may notice that you will be more productive during the day.
Planning meals is also very important. Go to bed and get up early enough to start your day with a good breakfast. Skipping meals is the worst thing you can do for weight loss. Lunch and dinner are also important. When grocery shopping, buy a variety of options for lunch and dinner. This decreases the frustration of planning a meal a couple of hours ahead of time. Keep in mind, planning weekly will help you with the long-term goal of setting a healthy eating routine that you can follow.
You can easily fit an exercise and healthy eating routine in your busy schedule with proper planning and dedication. Get moving!

After a long day at work or taking the children around to their activities, the last thing on your mind is a workout. The worst thing you could do at this point is to give in and skip the workout for the day. Instead of throwing in the towel, try doing these quick at home workouts without breaking a sweat. An isometric exercise workout is strength training without moving. It involves toning the muscles when the length of the muscle does not change and there is no joint movement. You will be using your own body weight as resistance. Benefits of isometric exercises include increased metabolic rate which can help speed up weight loss, increased bone density and increased lean muscle mass. Lean muscle mass helps you burn more calories throughout the day, even while at rest. Best of all the exercises can be done in a short amount of time. Below are 4 exercises you can do right at home.
A Family That Exercises Together…..
Staying on track with your weight loss goals can be difficult. The energy some people have about their program, after a couple of months, has faded. That decrease in energy and less resolve can lead to less time in the gym, succumbing to cravings for your favorite foods, and frustration. All of these things can cause weight gain. There are some simple steps you can take to prevent these setbacks and stay on track with your weight loss goals. These steps can be used throughout the year.
Corporate Wellness Programs are a beneficial investment to large and small companies.
