The Diary of Anne Moody
A Coming of Age in Mississippi By the late 1960's the Civil Rights movement has traumatic losses that came with enormous successes. Several acts were passed for the African American Community, however, society for the blacks was not where it wanted to be, in the fact that whites were still extremely raciest and blacks were not truly protected like they had originally hoped. Now with everything working against the blacks in the late 1960's and a couple brave souls rising in the civil rights movement a young lady named Anne Moody came wrote her autobiography about her life in these dark times for America. In this book, we see what life was like for the black community who were always targeted by the whites as an enemy. We read about how the school system was like for this minority, the racial etiquette that the black people had to follow, and just Anne Moody's family and childhood. Today, we only read about the major figures, such as, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King that played a pivotal role in civil rights movement when there were more people especially Anne Moody that helped America to be what it is today. Anne Moody's childhood was one that no wishes to have. She was constantly beaten, her father left the family, and she was a slave to a white farmer. However, Anne possessed strong traits, she was not affected by these beatings, she wanted to learn about the south, and how to take a stand, and she worked to provide for her siblings because her mother and her mother's new husband, Raymond, failed to provide for them. Anne was a strong willed girl, that realized the hardships that being an African American possessed and overcame them, and her childhood, working on the plantation as a slave was truly what made her out to be later in life which was a civil rights activist. Growing up during the civil rights movement, when the white population ruled the south was

She even hoped that it could lead her to a piece of her Mother's past that was never reclaimed and it did. The picture lead Lily to the people that her Mother held dear to her heart: The Boatwright Sisters. The Boatwright Sisters were hardworking, educated, black women. They did not judge Lily because of her skin. There were no judgments cast.
Kara Walker Essay
Before then, Walker had not encountered any racially based situations. California was more integrated then Georgia was at the time. Her artwork takes the theme of what it does today because of racism in Georgia at that time. She was continuously reminded that she was African American, and she was made fun of because of it. She had a firsthand witness to racism in America, and that helped form her artistic style into what it is today.
Alice Walker Essay
Black women living in the United States leading up to and during the civil rights era were unable to express themselves due to the closed minds of white America. In the essay "In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens" Alice Walker goes into great detail about the oppressions of African American women who were forced to endure not only racism and sexism, but classism as well. Walker goes on to talk about how spirituality is the only tool they had that could not be taken away. This was kept alive through folklore and anything else they could get a hold of that helped them to escape reality. Within the essay Walker speaks of several different instances of women before and during her time that were visionaries of indescribable proportions.
Women In African American Culture
Single sisters of wives who died young were supposed to marry and take care of the widower and the children. Slavery was the main problem of southern culture.Regarding the interest of her white employers, black women should ignore her own family and her own desires. And in the writing about history, many men believed that the capacity of women was to make things happen in the domestic area so that only men could be historical agents, however, they all had at least a mother, a sister or daughters and they were totally aware of their capacities. As for the place of the women in the south, it was believed that they were satisfied with their assigned places. Certainly, no southern lady, they thought, desires to change her legal and moral situation.
Analysis of a Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry
Lorraine Hansberry's play "A Raisin in the Sun" was far ahead of its time in both depicting the everyday life of black people in a way that everyone can understand and discuss the oppression that black people still felt even though strides had been taken towards civil rights. According to NPR, Hansberry shared the aims for this play with her husband. "Hansberry told her husband she wanted to write a social drama about blacks that was good art. Instead of stereotyped characters that would bear no resemblance to actual people, she invented a situation that was sometimes painfully realistic. The plot revolves around what her characters do given the opportunity to escape their cramped surroundings" (NPR).
Andrew Jackson Dbq Analysis
Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton discussed the possibility of a women's rights convention when they were prevented from speaking at an anti-slavery convention in London in 1840. However, after the Civil War, some of the suffragettes were outraged when black men got the vote but not white women. Susan B. Anthony wrote indignantly about: "Patrick and Sambo and Wong Tong making laws for the daughters of Adams and Jefferson, women of wealth and education". As with the suffragette movement in the UK, there was a strong class element to the struggle. The suffragette movement gained strength in America after black men got the vote (though most southern black men were effectively disenfranchised by literacy laws, the poll tax, threats and intimidation etc).
Zora Hurston Research Paper
It is obvious that Hurston wanted a good education from the beginning, to start off in the already rough everyday life of the racial period for African Americans. At the time, it was a difficult time period for blacks, and she knew she would have to go the extra mile no other African American woman had attempted yet. She wanted to have a good chance to become a noticeable, talented writer, and had achieved this success through her most knowledgeable novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God. After finishing college, completing many books, and taking many simple, low paying jobs, Hurston found herself poverty struck and charged for a crime. "After suffering many setbacks, including the allegation of committing an immoral act with a minor (which was later dropped), Hurston returned to the life of poverty," (Doe 1).
The Vernacular Tradition
Song and Literature through Vernacular Tradition For many years African Americans struggled with racism, prejudice inequality and oppression. They were taken from their families deprived of reading, writing, and learning and had their god given rights taken away. Through all the struggle, fighting and battles they never gave up and kept pushing forward for a brighter day. They did this so through music, song and dance known as the Vernacular Tradition. These were forms of expression, which enabled them to make it through those hard times and gave a voice and a form of self -awareness and endurance.
Sojourner Truth Essay
Eventually Truth became a mother to numerous children, most of whom were sold as slaves to various families. In 1826, when her master refused to honor his offer of freedom in exchange for her hard work, Truth took her youngest child and fled. In 1827, she attained legal freedom pursuant to a New York statute. Truth moved to New York City and became involved in organizations assisting in the attainment of rights for both blacks and women. Though it was well known that Truth could neither read nor write, she overcame such limitations by becoming a powerfully adept activist fighting racial discrimination, and persuasively championing for blacks' rights to vote.
To Kill A Mockingbird Analysis
"To Kill A Mockingbird": Literary Analysis Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird portrays life through a young girl's eyes as she grows up and begins to realize that everything is not black and white. During a time where blacks were basically thought of as dirt and little girls were expected to sit still and help out around help put around the house, it is evident that that the saying "it takes a village to raise a child" is being put top good use. The basic theme of the novel is civil rights. What happens to Tom Robinson is an injustice, and could only happen to a black man in the South during the 1930s. It could even be said that the predominantly white justice system killed Tom Robinson.

How could the BBC ever fund the over-75s?
In the BBC's 2015 funding settlement commencing 2017, the Government assumed the BBC would fully fund the subsidy for over-75s to the tune of £750 million from 2020/21
Although the BBC's settlement contained measures of "mitigation" worth c.£290 million, the BBC would still have faced a gap of c.£460 million to be funded by programme cuts and efficiencies (the BBC has pledged £250 million)
Including c.£300 million from the annual adjustment of the licence fee for inflation from 2017 would help. However, this was always required to offset normal salary and cost increases to prevent a real decline in the BBC's resources
Future of Public Service Media: EPG prominence to the fore
Ofcom's recommendations to Government suggest updating EPG prominence legislation to cover connected TVs, and were warmly welcomed by the PSBs
Balancing various commercial, PSB and consumer interests will be key; determining what content qualifies for prominence will be a particularly thorny issue to resolve
Extending prominence to smart TVs and streaming sticks is critical, but implementation will be challenging
HFSS advertising ban consultation
The UK government is now consulting on a wider TV advertising ban until 9pm for food and drink high in fat, salt and sugar (HFSS), to combat childhood obesity
TV and TV advertising are not the cause of children being overweight or obese (O+O). Policy change in this area should inform and educate parents and young children, as they have in Leeds and Amsterdam
With 64% of the UK population being O+O, obesity is a complex societal issue requiring a multifaceted approach. The evidence from existing rules, and plummeting TV viewing amongst children, says that further restrictions on TV advertising will be ineffective in curbing the rise of obesity in the UK
UK online advertising: Brexit year forecast and trends
UK online advertising spend continued its double-digit growth in 2018, up 11% to reach nearly £13bn in annual spend or 58% of the total advertising market, but a no-deal consumer downturn could nearly stop growth this year
Google, Facebook, Amazon, professional services firms and the largest marketing cloud companies are the biggest winners, while content media, media agencies and independent advertising technology firms languish
Self-regulation has improved as pressure mounts on advertising technology firms, but interventions by both privacy and competition authorities are now inevitable
Free TV Licences for over-75s
The BBC's consultation on rescinding free TV licences for all those aged 75 and over, in whole or in part, has sparked a heartfelt petition from key stakeholder Age UK to restore Government funding for the elderly, which we support
The Government has put the BBC in the intolerable position of choosing between funding the remit, whose delivery is regulated by Ofcom, and free TV licences for the over-75s, a lose-lose for the BBC, its viewers and listeners
In our submission to the BBC we highlight the human impact of reduced services and/or higher monthly expenses on the 2 million single-income households, 75% headed by women, for whom the BBC is a lifeline
Cairncross: platforms intervention to save news
The Cairncross Review has now reported on the tough question of "how to sustain production and distribution of high quality journalism in a rapidly changing technology environment". New codes of conduct for the platforms and publishers are the Review's key policy recommendation.
In particular, the Review addresses the sustainability of public interest, including local, journalism. This news is important for democracy, but expensive to do well, not particularly popular and most sabotaged by an online ecosystem that rewards traffic over quality.
This is a landmark public intervention, but implementation will be critical, even if there is no silver bullet – platforms, publishers and citizens need to rise to the challenge.
UK advertising spend - Brexit year forecasts
Our central case forecast with orderly EU withdrawal predicts 2.7% growth for total UK advertising spend, down from 4.7% in 2018. We have a no-deal Brexit scenario that predicts a smaller advertising recession than in 2009, with total ad spend declining 3% and display down 5.3% in 2019
The total advertising figures partly mask the pressure on UK consumers, through an expansion of the measured advertising spend universe. This is due to significant self-serve online advertising growth by SMEs, and non-advertising marketing budgets moving to online advertising platforms
In a downturn, we'd expect advertisers to become more tactical, which would disproportionally affect display media including TV, which is further affected by declining commercial impacts among younger adults. Search and social advertising would see only small growth through the first year of a recession
HFSS TV watershed idea should be put to bed
The ban on pre-9pm TV ads for HFSS (high in fat, salt or sugar) products being considered by the Government would not play a constructive or quantifiable role in reversing the UK's rising childhood obesity rates.
The ban on HFSS product ads since 2008 around children's programming has not impeded the inexorable rise of childhood obesity. In 2010, Ofcom termed an HFSS watershed ban 'disproportionate' and 'ineffective'.
In 2018, a watershed ban would be even less effective. Children's linear broadcast TV viewing is down by half since 2010, mainly to YouTube's advantage, which benefits from light-touch HFSS regulation.
Local TV: Five years after launch
Although launched with an array of public service goals in mind, local TV's flawed design has created a sector struggling to live up to its optimistic ambitions.
Five years and £37 million of licence fee monies later, it is unclear what public service contributions are being made, or whether the scheme has provided value-for-money. A wholesale review of the sector is urgently needed.
The vision of a "thriving and sustainable" sector has fallen flat. Most licences remain loss-making, with doubts as to their long-term viability. Those operating low-cost models seem best placed to survive.
CMA issues provisional findings in Fox-Sky
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has provisionally found that Fox's acquisition of Sky is against the public interest on media plurality grounds, although it could proceed with an appropriate remedy
The CMA found the merger would give the Murdoch Family Trust (MFT) and family members "too much influence over public opinion and the political agenda"
The CMA now enters the challenging remedies phase. Fox could offer an Editorial Board for Sky News pending finalisation of Disney-Fox (by 2019). Third parties seem likely to continue to seek to prohibit the merger

Is your employer failing to pay you on time and in full?
Does your employer not allow you to take meal and rest breaks?
Wage & Hour laws generally involve employee pay and working conditions for both exempt and non-exempt employees. When you put in your hours at work, you expect to get compensated in full, and in a timely manner. If you are a non-exempt employee, you earned those overtime wages, and you both need and deserve a break after a number of hours on the clock. When you walk into the office or factory, you demand a safe working environment. These are just a few of the rights and protections that employees have under California and federal Wage & Hour laws.
There are many factors into determining whether you are properly classified as an independent contractor. Perhaps one of the most important factor is the right of the employer to control the manner and means of accomplishing your job, but there are many other factors that can also make a difference. You should consult a labor and employment attorney if you think that you may have been improperly classified.
When your employer fails to timely pay you wages or overtime, fails to provide meal and rest breaks, or commits any number of wage & hour violations, you can depend on the Khadder Law Firm to fight for your rights to justice.

US military leaders quarantined after official tests positive
AP, , Tuesday 6 Oct 2020
The officials said the military leaders were working from home and this has not affected military readiness
The chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and other top military leaders are under quarantine after a senior Coast Guard official tested positive for the coronavirus, two US officials said.
Gen. Mark Milley and the chiefs of the Army, Navy and Air Force have tested negative for the virus, but remain under quarantine as a precaution, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss information not yet made public. The head of US Cyber Command, Gen. Paul Nakasone, was also among those quarantined.
The officials said the military leaders were working from home and this has not affected military readiness.
Up to 14 officials are believed to have been potentially exposed to the virus after meetings last week with the vice commandant of the Coast Guard, Adm. Charles W. Ray, who has tested positive. The officials were informed about the positive test on Monday.
It is not known how Ray contracted the virus, but it was not believed to be related to the outbreak affecting President Donald Trump and others at the White House, the officials said.

Cops burst into school, weapons drawn, in surprise 'active shooter drill'
Reuters/Jason Redmond © Reuters
Teachers and students at a Florida middle school got the shock of their lives as an unannounced 'lockdown active shooter drill' sparked panic as police burst into classrooms with weapons drawn, drawing sharp criticism from the community.
Students at Jewett Middle Academy in Winter Haven, Florida, spoke of the terror they experienced as police officers carried out their 'active shooter drill' inside classrooms – without informing teachers ahead of time about the exercise.

Lauren Marionneaux, a seventh-grader, told WTVT-TV that when the police officers crashed into her classroom with weapons drawn, she immediately imagined the worst.
"A lot of people started getting scared because we thought it was a real drill," Lauren said. "We actually thought that someone was going to come in there and kill us."
Later, school officials sent an email to inform parents about the drill, which was compared to fire drills that schools regularly conduct.
"Parents, students and staff are typically not notified about lockdown drills. For example, we do not give advanced notice of fire drills in order to evaluate how safety procedures work...We regret any concern that parents and students might have experienced in how the drill was conducted," the letter stated.
But for many parents, however, receiving a letter from school officials after the fact was unacceptable.
Stacy Ray, whose daughter texted her during the police exercise, said she believed the school was experiencing a real live shooting.
"I'm panicking because I'm thinking that it's a legitimate shooter coming, that something bad is happening at the school," Ray told Fox 13. The video below shows police officers in an 'active shooter exercise' in the state of Massachusetts.
"It's very scary, especially from a parent's perspective," Ray said. "You hear all this horrible stuff on the news and you think it might be happening at your child's school."
Jason Geary, a spokesperson for Polk County Schools, called it "standard procedure" for such drills to occur without informing parents, students or teachers.
Meanwhile, Winter Haven Police Chief Charlie Bird said the unannounced lockdown drill enabled police to "evaluate a school's response."
"These types of drills are vital in order to evaluate not only law enforcement response, but more importantly to educate the students and school officials in case an actual event were to occur," Chief Charlie Bird said in an email to media.
"How you train and how you prepare is how you're going to react when everything goes bad."
"It really is to protect the children and at no point in time would we endanger any of the children," Bird stated.
Following the outpouring of criticism from teachers and parents, Winter Haven police said they had "evaluated procedures" for such drills and decided to change their tactics.
"Further lock-down drills that occur at schools within the city limits of Winter Haven will be performed by uniformed officers without weapons," the department said in a press release.

As a marketer, you're constantly being pushed to do more. Drive more leads. Create more content. Generate more engagement. And in most cases, you can do it.
But what about tracking anonymous users on your website. What about nurturing leads—scoring each one based on their specific behavior?
How do you scale that?
Are you supposed to do this for thousands of individual leads?
No. And you're not expected to. That's why there are a number of marketing automation platforms slugging it out for a significant slice of your marketing budget.
YOU know you need automation. But do you really know WHY?
To understand why you need IT it's helpful to have a baseline understanding of what IT is.
Simply put, marketing automation is any platform that automates the repetitive tasks in your marketing campaigns. By creating workflows for common scenarios, you free up time to focus on the more critical facets of your marketing role – areas like strategy and asset creation.
How quickly, if ever, can a real ROI be achieved?
We'll come back to those questions shortly.
When implemented properly, you have a huge opportunity to increase engagement, qualify and nurture leads, reduce human error, gain deeper insights, personalize your messaging, and improve retention…practically automatically.
But did you know—marketing automation can automatically segment your prospects, and drive actual sales?
That caught your attention, right?
EmailMonday claims that on average 51% of companies are currently using marketing automation, with more than half of B2B companies (58%) planning to adopt the technology.
According to Nucleus Research, marketing automation drives a 14.5% increase in sales productivity and a 12.2% decrease in marketing overhead.
Marketo states in a recent white paper that 63% of their users planned to increase their automation budget in 2017.
VentureBeat reports that 80% of the companies using marketing automation saw an increase in leads and 77% of them showed an increase in conversions.
In SharpSpring's "State of Marketing Automation for Agencies" infographic, they note that nearly 90% of agencies using automation consider it to be a successful strategy.
With the ability to automate, streamline, and personalize your efforts and gain more information about your contacts, you can more effectively communicate your message and keep your contacts engaged for the long term.
You may be thinking, "OK, that all sounds great but what exactly IS Marketing Automation?" Let's dig a little deeper so you have a better understanding and can see how you can put marketing automation into action work for you.
In B2B marketing and sales, your messaging and the context in which it's presented is key. There is no such thing as an incidental transaction.
Your prospects extensively research the options available to them.
You need to consider the many factors that are at play when you interact with them, including their role within their organization, where they are in their buying process, and which products or services might solve their particular challenges. Obviously, how widely these variables fluctuate can result in vastly different approaches to the conversation.
Here's the good news. Based on behavior, you can get a really good idea of who these prospects are, and tailor your messaging for the proper context—automatically.
For example, if you're a software company, you might market several different features on your website. When a contact expresses interest in a specific feature by downloading a case study (or even viewing a page), you can assume they are likely in the research phase of their buying process.
Based on this activity, you can then automatically trigger an email sequence tailored to their use case with more information. If they return and view the product pricing page, you learn they are closer to their purchasing decision and you can change your messaging to an appropriate message based on that stage in their journey.
Contacts researching products or solutions come from all different walks of life. When you know more about them, you can take your personalized content one step further by establishing personas for the different types of people you want to interact with.
For example, a CIO researching software is going to have vastly different concerns than a mid-level marketing employee. Using this information, you can assign a persona to each contact and curate your interactions with them appropriately.
An important part of building your marketing automation strategy is understanding exactly whom you're targeting.
In a sales conversation, it can be easy to go with the ebb and flow of the relationship. But, when you're automating that conversation, it's important to do this kind of research ahead of time.
This allows you to truly personalize their experience and do a better job of both understanding and adhering to their requirements.
At the end of the day, all your marketing efforts lead to increasing both the number of leads you get and the quality of the ones you secure.
Most of your contacts aren't quite ready to purchase yet, but that doesn't mean you should ignore them.
Using a marketing automation solution, you can gather more insight into who your leads are by monitoring their behavior and even scoring them appropriately.
For your contacts who are still in the research or "early funnel" stage, you can trigger a sequence, providing access to webinars, white papers, blog posts, etc. to nurture your prospect and help them with their buying journey.
Lead Scoring is a simple concept, though the power behind it lies in its versatility and unique ability to let your leads prequalify themselves based on their behavior.
As contacts engage with your content more frequently, you can assign scores to each interaction (page view, email opened, media viewed, etc.).
As their scores rise, you can assume they are closer to making decisions. If they stop engaging the scores decay and go cold.
Not all leads are created equal, and an effective scoring strategy means your sales team can spend more time on prequalified leads, instead of manually having to qualify them. Your sales team needs to focus on closing deals, so it's important to keep it focused on the leads they can convert into sales instead of dealing with the guesswork of prospecting.
Leads below a certain score can remain engaged with a sequence of automated interactions based on the topics, products, or services where they've expressed interest.
If done effectively, their scores will rise to a point when a more personal touch is appropriate and the sales team can reach out to these new, hot leads.
When your leads' scores begin to decay and drop below a certain threshold, you can swap automation strategies and find out what went wrong. This is a chance to learn if they've chosen another provider and why.
Or, you may discover that your messaging wasn't relevant enough to keep their interest. From there, you can use that information to adjust your approach moving forward.
Either way, it's a win/win scenario.
The more information you have about your contacts, the better you can fulfill their needs and ultimately turn them into customers. The tricky part is gathering that information.
It's a well- known fact that the more fields you put into forms online, the lower your conversion rates will be.
There's also a contextual element to determine when it's appropriate to ask for certain types of information. You wouldn't ask someone for their FICO score on a first date, right?
This is where Progressive Profiling comes into play. When contacts provide their name and email to download an ebook, you begin to track them.
Using marketing automation, the next time they engage, you can then ask them a different set of questions…maybe what companies they work for and their roles.
1) The contacts don't have to enter the information that you already know, more than once. This further personalizes their experience.
2) It provides your marketing and sales teams with that much more information to tailor your messaging, and further the contacts along the sales cycle.
In a post-sale workflow, you can continue engaging with customers to make sure they remain happy, successful, and loyal.
Many B2B customers require an on-boarding process to help them get fully up to speed with the products and services they've chosen. Automating this process by providing resources to help them become successful, as customers, keeps them engaged and satisfied.
You can also inspire them with new ways of using your products to solve problems they may not have even realized they face. This is also a great opportunity to up-sell or cross-sell additional complementary products or services, in a completely automated way.
Additionally, if you have a good grasp of your typical product sales cycle, you can automate a re-buy message, even years down the line to make sure you never miss a recurring opportunity.
These are all relatively simple concepts as a marketer, but automating the process leaves no stone unturned. It provides you with the opportunity to measure and optimize your strategy, instead of spending your time focused on the implementation.
So far we've covered a lot on personalized messaging and interacting with contacts in an appropriate way based on their personas, needs, roles, and progress throughout the buying process.
It's important to emphasize that content is still king.
While marketing automation allows you to get content to the right person, in a highly efficient way, the key is still providing the right content.
This is where automation gets a little tricky, and lends itself to a slightly higher barrier to entry for many companies. The worst-case scenario is automating a sequence with irrelevant interactions being sent to uninterested contacts.
You need to make sure that, regardless of context, you provide your contacts with incredibly valuable content and interactions that will keep them engaged as they work their way through the buying process.
On the other side of that coin, since you know more about your contacts, you might consider more broad scope marketing campaigns to use your information.
Think of it as fishing with a spear versus fishing with a net.
When launching a campaign, highly targeted landing pages are crucial for keeping your contacts engaged with specific topics of interest.
A general website with links to every product, feature, or piece of information about the company is great for teaching them who you are.
A landing page is perfect for targeting a specific solution to a need they have. A clear message, with a strong call to action, helps drive conversions, helping contacts through their buying process.
Using marketing automation, you can even create dynamic content, again tailored to your contact's persona.
While the landing page may be focused on the solution, the way it's presented can then be personalized to resonate with the contact, depending on how much information you've gathered on them.
While a lot of automation can be done cross-channel, email remains the backbone touch-point with your contacts.
Think about your own email and what engages YOU.
You probably receive dozens (if not hundreds) of emails per day, so you know the value of content contained within them must be paramount to the prospect to be successful.
Remember, trust and loyalty are built over time.
A one-off email can certainly provide value, but as you nurture early-stage leads, you need to prove that you can consistently provide content that will help your prospect eventually decide on a solution that will fulfill their needs.
Let's look at some common scenarios and how the corresponding automation workflows might look.
Below are a few examples of how you can let your platform take the reins on repetitive tasks, increasing engagement, and freeing up your time to focus on other matters.
Gated content (asking for information before access) is relatively common these days because it works in two different ways.
First, it shows a high level of interest if someone is willing to provide their information to access a piece of content.
Second, it begins the sales process for those who do share their information.
When a contact interacts with specific pages or downloadable content, they're showing interest in a product or service you provide. This gives you the insight into what their needs might be, allowing you to address them more specifically.
Contact fills out an opt-in form.
Contact is sent to a thank you page and receives an email with topic-specific resources.
OPENED BUT NOT DOWNLOADED? Send a series of reminders.
OPENED AND DOWNLOADED? Add contact to an Engaged Customer List.
NOT OPENED? Send a series of reminders, spaced out.
Along the theme of customizing your interactions with contacts, it's important to both make the right first impression for new customers, as well as foster loyalty.
Contact makes a purchase on the website.
NEW CUSTOMER? Send thank you email with discount code.
RETURNING CUSTOMER? Send thank you email with cross sell, and add to loyal customers list.
Events are a great way of to attract new prospects and engage with current, local clients.
Creating a workflow that reminds attendees as the event date approaches, as well as follows up with them after the event has taken place can increase the value of the event itself, both for your business and the attendee.
Contact RSVPs or signs up for an event reminder.
Contact added to event attendance list.
Contact receives Thank You email with event schedule.
Contact receives reminder 7 days before event.
Contact receives reminder 2 days before event.
Contact receives post event Thank You with any relevant resources.
Contact receives follow up 7 days after event with offers.
Some contacts may seem to disappear over time, especially if it's been a while since they've engaged with you.
Using set criteria, you can adjust their status within the system and trigger a sequence designed to get them excited and engaged again.
Contact added to "inactive contact" list based on time since last engagement or low lead score.
Contact receives re-engagement email with discount or special offer.
Contact receives follow up email 7 days later.
OPEN EMAIL? Remove from inactive contact list and send follow up offer.
DID NOT OPEN EMAIL? Contact remains on inactive contact list.
The possibilities of marketing automation are only limited by your imagination.
The key to a successful strategy and implementation, however, is to remember that the technology to deliver automation is just another powerful tool in your marketing bag of tricks.
Let's go back to the questions we mentioned at the start of this overview. As far as the ease of putting marketing automation into place, you can be confident that with the right strategy, planning, and guidance, your campaigns can get up and running quickly.
To successfully use tools like this, you need to focus on how automation can be implemented to achieve your goals. Ultimately, you need to provide genuine value to your contacts in the right context, at the right time, instead of focusing on just the automation itself.
And, that's where the true ROI comes in. By adding value in your engagement with your contacts, you'll see improvements in moving and qualifying leads through your buying cycle.
The manual work you've done in the past, gets automated, saving you time and cycles to focus your resources on creating your next amazing campaign – isn't that where you'd rather focus, anyway?

Q: Untrusted lvl 10 - why is everything recognized as 'empty'? The map.getObjectTypeAt function returns 'empty' at a robot location, why is this?

A: That method will return static objects I believe whereas robots are dynamic objects. "Empty" is a specific object type so it is not saying "nothing found" but "I found an object and it is of type "Empty".
I don't know of a good way to get dynamic objects at a specific place apart from by looping through all dynamic objects and checking their XY coordinates.
The getObjectTypeAt method is defined as this:
this.getObjectTypeAt = function (x, y) {
    return __grid[x][y].type;
}

The placeObject function is defined as:
this.placeObject = function (x, y, type) {
    if (!__objectDefinitions[type]) {
        throw "There is no type of object named " + type + "!";
    }

    if (typeof(__grid[x]) === 'undefined' || typeof(__grid[x][y]) === 'undefined') {
        return;
        // throw "Not a valid location to place an object!";
    }

    if (__objectDefinitions[type].type === 'dynamic') {
        // dynamic object
        __dynamicObjects.push(new DynamicObject(this, type, x, y));
    } else {
        // static object
        if (__grid[x][y].type === 'empty' || __grid[x][y].type === type || __allowOverwrite) {
            __grid[x][y].type = type;
        } else {
            throw "There is already an object at (" + x + ", " + y + ")!";
        }
    }
};

AS you can see dynamic objects aren't placed in the __grid variable which is where getObjectTypeAt looks for things so it will only pick up static objects.

A: But maybe you are giving the wrong location. Define collision the right way to solve this. The hint was to mess with the drone's programming.
What does the hint ask of you? To mess with the robot's programming.
You are given three spaces. At the Attack drone, re-inforcement drone and defense drone.
The defense drone will not help you. And the attack drone and re-inforcement drones will kill you.
I am going to give you a hint. Define collision for all of them, and do not let them kill the player.
I could spell it out for you. But since you reached this far...
Else I can post my solution.

On Sunday, 22 December 2013, Robi Gupta—the foremost Bengali poet of Sri Aurobindo Ashram—has passed on to the Beyond at the age of eighty-seven. Born on 25 July 1926 at Nilphamari in Rangpur (now in Bangladesh) he was the youngest son of Nolini Kanta (13.1.1889—7.2.1984) and Indulekha Gupta (20.4.1905—12.8.1987). Nolini Kanta had settled in the newly formed Sri Aurobindo Ashram at Pondicherry a few months before Robi's birth.
Robi started writing verses at a very early age. Even when he was asleep he used to feel certain lines of poetry coming to him but when he would get up in the morning and try to put them down on paper he found it difficult to do so. So he would go to bed armed with a pencil, a notebook and a torch so that whenever he got any poetic inspiration during his sleep he would get up and note it down. When this news was reported to Nolini Kanta Gupta at Pondicherry he had remarked about his youngest son: "Genius!" Robi would send some of his poems to his father and these poems were seen and corrected by the likes of Dilip Kumar Roy, Sahana Devi and Nishikanto Raichowdhury and sent back to him.
Robi visited Sri Aurobindo Ashram for the first time on 19 April 1944 after appearing for his school final examination. His elder brothers Samir Kanta (7.2.1922—6.6.2013) and Subir Kanta (19.10.1923—7.12.2013) had already joined the Ashram as permanent members. On 24 April he had the Darshan of Sri Aurobindo. The impact of the Darshan was such that he had made up his mind to stay in the Ashram for ever. To quote his own words: "To me, the word darshan had ceased to become a mere word and had become like a glorified Canto. When he informed the Mother about his wish, she replied: "I agree." Thus, he became an inmate of the Ashram even before he turned eighteen and did not step out of Pondicherry ever since.
Sri Aurobindo had once written in jest that he was the Head of the Department of Poetry in the Ashram. The members of this Department of Poetry—who have enriched the treasures of spiritual or mystic poetry—included the likes of Dilip Kumar Roy, K.D. Sethna alias Amal Kiran, Harindranath Chattopadhyay, Sahana Devi, Arjava, Nirodbaran, Nishikanto Raichowdhury, Pujalal etc. Robi happened to be the last surviving member of the said department. Some of his poems in Bengali were read out to Sri Aurobindo by Nirodbaran. As a mark of his appreciation, Sri Aurobindo had given him the title of 'Tagore of the Ashram. His anthologies of Bengali poetry include titles like Swapani (1950), Marmomoral (1952), Mandakini (1953), Sarani (1965), Gitiargha (1965), Shiulijhora Bhorer Alo (1998) and Ahoroni (2009). His style of writing was so unique that even his prose-works (for instance, his reminiscences Smritipote which was serialized in the Bengali monthly magazine Srinvantu in the early 1980s) had become impeccable poetry.
'Poetry is the highest form of language that should express Truth, Beauty and Harmony in a beautiful way which, ordinarily, our ears cannot hear and eyes cannot see. If this is the real purpose of poetry, nay, if the true aim of the poet is to make reader's mind enriched with profound thoughts and ennobled with lofty ideas, then "Swapani" the recently published poetical work of Sri Robi Gupta, a young poet of Pondicherry Ashram, has seen a splendid success.
'The book is a fine collection of forty four poems in Bengali. There is poetic ecstasy that has sprung from his deep personal experience. The verses, therefore, have the rhythm of spiritual joy. The style has elegance and fluency in giving out perfect and happy expression of sober idea and intense feeling.
Robi was a linguist and an avid footballer and hockey-player. For a number of years he had taught in the Ashram School. For his contribution in the field of Bengali literature, he was awarded the 'Sri Aurobindo Puraskar' and 'Auro-Ratna Award' by Sri Aurobindo Bhavan (Kolkata) and Overman Foundation respectively.
Robi-da was a perfect gentleman. He always encouraged budding poets and writers and also conveyed his appreciation to them either directly or through someone else whenever he read anything good authored by them. Like the late poet Nishikanto Raichowdhury he would gift poems written by him to individuals on their birthdays or other occasions.
In November 2013 Robi-da had spent a fortnight in the Ashram Nursing Home. On 7 December he lost his elder brother Subir Kanta Gupta—better known as Manju-da in the Aurobindonian community. The eldest brother Samir Kanta alias Ranju-da had already passed away on 6 June 2013. The death of his elder brothers had made him lonely and sad. In the late hours of 22 December 2013 he joined them in the Mother's lap.
With Robi-da's demise the firmament of Aurobindonian poetry has lost its brightest star. His poetry has immortalized him so he would continue to shine like a Sun in the heart of every lover of poetry.

a elderly person , it did not strike my mind.
I did read this article though. My son name is Anurag too.
"The other day Nolinida told us something very interesting about his first darshan of you. He was sent by Barinda to call you to the Maniktola Garden. He was waiting in a room downstairs at Raja Subodh Mullick's house, when you came down, stood near him and gave him an inquiring look. He said in Bengali, 'Barin has sent me. Would it be possible for you to come to the Garden with me now?' You answered very slowly, pausing on each syllable, – it seemed you had not yet got used to speaking Bengali – and said, 'Go and tell Barin, I have not yet had my lunch. It will not be possible to go today.' He did not say a word, did his namaskar and went away." All the children were smiling and so was Sri Aurobindo.

Q: Jquery - fill input if user exist I'm trying to fill a form if I find that the name and the firstname input by the user already exist in my database.
For the moment, I would like to check if the name and the firstname already exist in the database but my javascript program  doesn't work. It's seems that the part..." "$.post("../modules/verifier_staff.php",{ nom: ..."  is not correct.
Then I would like to fill my form with the data that my database give (array).
Can somenone help me to find my mistakes and to tell me how I can use the data i receive from database to fill my form?
$(document).ready(function(){

    var form_nom = $("#staff_nom");
    var form_prenom = $("#staff_prenom");

    $(form_nom).change(function() {
        checkvariable();
    });
    $(form_prenom).change(function() {
        checkvariable();
    });

    function checkvariable(){
        if((form_nom.val().length >0)&&(form_prenom.val().length>0)){
            prenom_staff = form_prenom.val();
            nom_staff = form_nom.val();
            //alert(nom_staff);
            $.post("../modules/verifier_staff.php",{ nom: nom_staff, prenom: prenom_staff},
                function(data){
                if(data)
                {
                    alert('ok');
                }
                else alert('nok');
             });
        }
    }
});

A: var form_nom = $("#staff_nom");
var form_prenom = $("#staff_prenom");

$(form_nom).change(function() {
    checkvariable(form_nom,form_prenom);    //pass arguments into the function
});
$(form_prenom).change(function() {
    checkvariable(form_nom,form_prenom);
});

function checkvariable(form_nom,form_prenom){  //innclude argument in function definition
    //......
}

A: thank for your help. Yes I'm sure that the path is correct.
Here is my code from ../modules/verifier_staff.php
<?php
  include('../inc/settings.php');
  include('../inc/includes.php');

//$_POST['nom']='Doe';
//$_POST['prenom']='John';

$nom=$_POST['nom'];
$prenom=$_POST['prenom'];

 $Dbcon = new Db;
 $personne_manager = new PersonneManager($Dbcon->dbh);
 $personne = $personne_manager->get(array('conditions'=> array('nom' => strtolower($nom),'prenom' => strtolower($prenom))));

 if($personne)
 {
    $result = true;
 }
 else
 {
    $result = false;
 }

 return $result;

?>

this part works well (I tested it) so I think the problem come from my javascript code. I'm a newbie in javascript/jquery.


About 80 percent of fortune 500 companies currently use SharePoint for web-based business development and document management. Over the years SharePoint has evolved into a powerful collaboration tool for businesses, however, without training and a clear user adoption strategy, many of its benefits are left uncovered.
When your company invests in a new technology like SharePoint, you have to utilize the platform appropriately in order to realize your return on investment. As a SharePoint educator I get an up close and personal account of the obstacles organizations face in pursuit of that ROI.
If you find that user adoption of SharePoint in your organization is slower than anticipated, or even outright avoided, you are not alone. Over these next five blog posts, I will describe the top five obstacles that I have encountered on the SharePoint battlefield and share my recommendations for overcoming them.
Before users even get to use SharePoint, many have a preconceived notion that SharePoint is complex and difficult to use. SharePoint is a very powerful platform with a vast list of capabilities and wide range of applications. This can be overwhelming and even intimidating for many users.
While, SharePoint (like all software), certainly has its quirks, its interface is actually very user friendly. Users should feel warm and fuzzy inside to see and use a familiar interface. Even if you have not used SharePoint in the past, if you've used Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint you will feel right at home. The folks at Microsoft do an excellent job keeping things consistent: the trusty Ribbon across the top of the page, items categorized by tabs, and menus that appear on the left. I recommend learning the platform in bite-size sections. Start with the basics first like learning how to properly navigate in SharePoint and eventually work your way up to the tough stuff. An excellent resource for online video tutorials that are both engaging and informative can be found on Lynda.com.
So fear not! Take baby steps and you will get there! In the next segment we will take a look at another common obstacle: Lack of Communication.


When I was little we'd go visit family and nearly every time we'd board the plane and get in our seats my mom would shed a couple tears. Me, being the concerned little daughter, would ask my mom why she was crying. She would answer that she missed my grandma and grandpa. "But Mom, we just saw them," I'd reply. I just didn't quite understand that feeling yet.
Now so many years later, once or twice a year when I see my brother, I can't help feeling a lot like my mother as I shed my own tears of goodbye. I feel them welling up before as it really dawns on me that this is the last I will see him for awhile and time is ticking until that goodbye hug in which every time, without fail, I break down and a few hot tears fall. I spend weeks or months looking forward to the time we get to spend together and it always seems the time slips right by me too fast.
Despite our four year age gap, the fact we haven't permanently lived in the same house since I was 10, and that we live over 2,000 miles away from each other, we have always been very close. We stay in touch several times a week and I am honored to call him not only family, but one of my very best friends. He is my home -- my connection to nearly everything in my life through divorced parents, common interests, and the same genes.
So as I shed my few tears and my throat constricts thinking it will be too long until we see each other again, until next time big brother. I love you.

Fort Worth's Darden Family Seeks to Stop Foreclosure Sale of Ranch Holdings
Thomas "Toby" Darden, who watched Barnett Shale natural gas field pioneer Quicksilver Resources slip into bankruptcy, is back in federal court to seek protection for ranch and energy holdings in West Texas.Darden is seeking Chapter 11 reorganization protection for four companies under the KC7 Ranch umbrella. The companies control significant assets near the oil-rich Permian Basin, including a 31,737-acre ranch in the Davis Mountain range that is already for sale for $52 million.The entities, listed as parent company KC7 Holdings, KC7 Ranch, KC7 GP and KC7 Partners, reported $50 million to $100 million in assets and $10 million to $50 million in liabilities, according to bankruptcy records. Darden initially filed for bankruptcy for the ranch Dec. 28 and the other companies last week.The bankruptcies apparently were filed to stop Hitachi Infrastructure Systems, the mortgage holder on the ranch, from conducting a foreclosure sale of the property after Hitachi declared its loan to be in default.The KC7 companies control, through leases and contracts, not only ranching activities but also oil and gas exploration and efforts related to obtaining and supplying water for hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.  Continue reading...

The Skillshops programme by Southsea Greenhouse Community Cooperative took place between January and September 2016. The 40 planned workshops proved very successful and due to economies with venues and other costs, additional sessions were granted by Awards for All, so we were able to conduct 10 additional drop in sessions across August and September to further benefit the community and make the the best use of the Lottery funding.
50 workshops delivered over a seasonal life cycle, focused on increasing craft and gardening skills and building community. Examples of the varied skillshops programme include decoupage, working with clay, barista, interior design, mindfulness, growing veg in small spaces, sensory gardens, de-cluttering, and life coaching personal vision sessions.
Southsea Greenhouse community is inter-generational, so an inclusive programme was a key principle in the project design. Family workshops promoted sociological activities, such as a treasure trail to help young people and volunteers identify their goals, explore their ideals, life skills and build a life plan. We celebrated the Skillshops with a summer BBQ in the community garden, bringing together participants and workshop leaders from across the programme.
101 people registered and attended skillshops although we were unable to achieve exit information for 11 participants. So, our outcome figures are based on 89 people over 40 skillshops and evaluation of all 50.
We used postcode information to monitor reach across the city and are pleased to say we were able to reach groups and individuals across the north as well as the South of the city. Postcode reach from PO1 to PO16. This demonstrates that people were prepared to travel to take part in the programme.
Our summer family drop in Skillshops were all inclusive and open to all ages and abilities. Creativity was encouraged with use of recycled materials and an emphasis on caring for the environment and keeping the city green. We hope that despite the season changing we can continue to put on monthly taster workshops to keep locals interested in coming together and learning something new, or adopting one of our grow spaces or volunteering in the orchard.
We are very proud of what we have achieved with the Awards for All Funding and send thanks to the Lottery for their investment in our city and community.
The kids loved making scarecrows using old clothes and straw bales. We will repeat this activity when we celebrate our autumn festivities in the Half term holidays.

This page addresses questions frequently asked by both Catholics and non-Catholics about our faith. If you have a question about the Catholic faith that you'd like answered, please contact Kim Schulman in the parish office at 404-252-4513, ext. 220, Questions will be answered based on appropriateness and as space permits. Questions and answers will appear in the bulletin first and then archived here on the website.
Why Don't We Sing "Alleluia" During Lent?
The "Alleluia" and "Gloria" are joyful chants, with Alleluia being the primary chant of the Easter Season - "He is risen, Alleluia." Lent is a penitential period when we express sorrow for the sin that put Jesus on the Cross. Instead of the joyful Alleluia, we sing an alternative hymn which still recognizes Jesus as Lord. During Lent, we prepare our hearts for resuming the Alleluia on Easter Sunday. In both Advent and Lent, we also omit the "Gloria," again because it is a joyful hymn.
Why do Catholics Fast During Lent / Eat Meat on Friday?
The three pillars of Lent are prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Historically, the Church directed Catholics to abstain from eating meat on Friday. Friday was selected because it was the day Jesus died on the Cross. Meat was available only to the nobility and wealthy. Fish was someone available to the poor, as were vegetables. So, the idea of abstinence was to try to make the wealthy eat like the poor people on that one day a week (originally on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays of Lent). After the second Vatican Council, fasting was reduced to Ash Wednesday and Good Friday for those who have not yet reached 60 years of age. Abstinence was retained for every Friday of Lent, regardless of age unless there is a medical reason for something else.
Why is it that at a Catholic wedding the father of the bride is not asked, "Who gives this woman to be married to this man?
The parties in a marriage "give" themselves to each other; they are not given to someone else. The Catholic ritual has always reflected that reality. Even in the days of "arranged" marriages, the parties still had free consent, so they were not "given in marriage."
What is the Church's position on cremation and the scattering of ashes?
The Church was opposed to cremation because there was a movement in Europe which advocated cremation as a new way of showing disbelief in the doctrine of the resurrection of the body at the end of time. Recognizing that this was not a universal movement, in 1963 the Church rule changed to permit cremation PROVIDED it was not chosen as a means of advertising disbelief in that doctrine. So, the burial of the body remains the preferred option, but cremation is permitted. In the case of cremation, the cremated remains may be present for the funeral Mass and, if so, are treated the same way as a body.
Burial of ashes is the preferred option. Scattering is permitted in very narrowly defined circumstances such as, for example, to prevent the location of burial from becoming a place of curiosity. Even if ashes are scattered in some fashion, it must always be done in an atmosphere and spirit of true reverence for the human remains.
Are we to bless ourselves with Holy Water upon entering and leaving the Church? Is it proper to make the sign of the cross when genuflecting before you enter and exit a pew?
The traditional Catholic custom is to bless oneself with Holy Water on entering the Church and when leaving. When genuflecting, making the sign of the cross is optional. It is not an inherent part of the genuflection, so it can be made or omitted.
Why do Catholics pause at the end of the Lord's Prayer for the priest to add his part and then finish?
What the priest says at the end of the Lord's Prayer is not an interruption but a prayer continuing the final sentiment of the Our Father. The doxology, which follows that second prayer - "For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever" - was never part of the Lord's Prayer. Through a mistranslation of the Missal after the Reformation in England, the "Deliver us O Lord..." prayer was omitted, and the doxology was put adjacent to the Lord's Prayer. Over the course of time, it morphed into being part of the prayer, and is the common usage in many of the Protestant and Evangelical churches.
Can you explain why priests are doing Confirmations? In the past, only Bishops confirmed. Also, what happened to the slap in Confirmations?
Priests could always do Confirmation in case of an emergency, so of its nature, the power to administer the Sacrament was not confined to the Episcopal order. In practice, it was usually conferred by a Bishop except in the case of an emergency. In recent years, Bishops have been given the authority to delegate ordinary administration of the Sacrament in wider circumstances to make it more readily available.
In the Archdiocese of Atlanta, every pastor has permission from the Archbishop to confer Confirmation. The "slap" (which was a light tap on the face, was to symbolize strength the face adversity) was abolished after the Second Vatican Council because it didn't help convey the true nature of the Sacrament which, rather than being assistance to deal with adversity, is the assistance of the Holy Spirit to live affirmatively the Christian vocation in every circumstance of life.
Why do we ring the chimes or bells during the Eucharistic Prayer? I was once told that before microphones were used, the bells would be rung to let the people who couldn't hear know that the most important part of the Mass was taking place.
The bells originally had a practical purpose. The Mass was in Latin, and the words were spoken quietly by the priest – so even microphones were not an issue. The bell was rung one time when the priest extended his hands over the chalice in blessing right before the Consecration. This was a signal to the congregation that the Consecration was about to take place. Then, when the words of Consecration had been spoken, the priest would genuflect, raise the Host (Chalice) to be visible to the people, and then genuflect again. The bell was rung at each of those steps – so the triple ring became common.
Nowadays, with the Mass in the vernacular language, and the words spoken aloud, the bells are rung in some parishes more as a continuity of tradition than as a practical matter.
Why and when should we genuflect?
Genuflection is a sign of reverence to the Blessed Sacrament. So, it is customary and proper to genuflect whenever we come into or leave the presence of the Blessed Sacrament reserved in the Tabernacle.
Genuflection is also proper at the reference in the Nicene Creed to Jesus becoming incarnate as man on the feast of the Annunciation (March 25) and the feast of Christmas.
Why are Catholics one of the few Christian faiths to make the sign of the cross?
The sign of the Cross is common among both Catholics and Orthodox. It is considered a sign of reverence and a remembrance that Jesus died on the Cross to bring salvation to the world. It simply fell out of use among other churches following the Reformation.
Why do we believe in praying to saints?
The "saints" are those who are in heaven. So, they have a special relationship with God. We believe that they can be powerful intercessors for us, presenting our needs to God.
Why do we call priests "Father"?
You can find out a lot about the background of this on the internet. Basically, it goes back to the New Testament traditions of Peter, Paul and John, all of whom addressed the people to whom they wrote as their "children." It connotes spiritual fatherhood.
What are the rules of fasting before Communion and why is it done?
The Eucharistic fast is intended to focus our minds on the solemnity of what we are doing in receiving Communion. Originally, the fast was from midnight before receiving Communion, later that was reduced to three hours for food, and now it is one hour from food and liquids other than water and medicine.
For a lay person, the fast is one hour before receiving, not an hour before Mass begins. This applies to everyone who is of age to receive Communion. In case of severe hardship or very advanced age or illness, even the one hour can be dispensed.
Who lights the Tabernacle lamp? Does it stay lit even when the Blessed Sacrament lies in repose in St. Mary's Chapel?
The traditional lamp was fueled with bee's wax. The one at Holy Spirit is electrified. It is always lit when the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the Tabernacle. It is extinguished, for example, when the Blessed Sacrament is in repose in St. Mary's Chapel during the Triduum.
What is the purpose of the cover the priest has over the Chalice during the Eucharistic Prayer?
The "cover" is called the Pall. It has been used for centuries. The purpose for it was to prevent dust or other foreign objects from falling in the Chalice. Until after the reforms following the Second Vatican Council, it was a liturgical requirement that the Pall be kept on the chalice except during the Consecration and Communion. That requirement was abolished. So it is now a practical decision for the priest to make. Some priests like to adopt the older practice.
Are we to bless ourselves with Holy Water upon entering and leaving the Church? Is it proper to maket he sign of the cross when genuflecting before you enter and exit a pew?
What is the meaning behind the making of the cross on our forehead, mouth and heart before the reading of the Gospel?
It mirrors the blessing a Deacon receives prior to proclaiming the Gospel - "may God be in your mind, on your lips and in your heart as you proclaim His holy Gospel."
Should parishioners remain kneeling after Communion until all the extra hosts are put back in the Tabernacle?
The general custom has been to kneel until the Blessed Sacrament is placed in the Tabernacle. But it is equally appropriate to sit. The primary consideration should be reverence and meditative prayer, whether this comes through silence or through a Thanksgiving hymn.
What does the light in the nave (near the Tabernacle) symbolize?
It is called a Sanctuary Lamp. It is lighted when the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the Tabernacle.
Why did Jesus "ascend" into heaven and why was Mary "assumed"? What is the big significance and difference between the two ways of getting to heaven?
Jesus was God, so he ascended into heaven. In other words, He went there by His own power. Mary was not God, so she was taken up into heaven by Jesus - she was "assumed."
What is the symbolism of dipping our fingers in holy water and making the sign of the cross?
It recalls our baptism into Christ, which makes us members of the Church, the Body of Christ.
Why does the Priest purify the chalices on the Altar now?
The purification can be done at the Altar or at a side table, or it can be done after Mass. The Holy See issued a directive in 2007 that the ritual purification must be done by a priest, deacon or installed acolyte. Since we depend so heavily on Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist to assist our clergy at all Masses, we do the ritual purification at the Altar and one of the extraordinary Ministers completes it after Mass with a more thorough washing of all the chalices.
How should we hold our hands during the "Our Father"?
There is really no right way and no wrong way for anyone but the Celebrant. For him, the correct posture is the hands spread apart in prayer. The traditional posture for all others is the "Orans," that is, hands joined together in a prayer posture. You may notice that some people like to hold hands during the Our Father, and perhaps even when visiting other churches you might notice that the entire congregation does it. If members of an individual family, or close friends, want to do that, it's fine. However, since hand-holding is not a liturgical action, if you are one of those who prefers to hold hands during the Our Father, please be sensitive to the fact that the people beside you may not wish to do so.
During the Profession of Faith, why do the clergy and some parishioners bow their head at "born of the Virgin Mary and became Man?"
The tradition of the Church over the centuries was to genuflect in reverence at that phrase because it refers to the mystery of the Incarnation, Jesus taking on a human nature in order to bring salvation to the world. The custom of the genuflection is preserved now only on the feast of Christmas and on March 25, the feast of the Annunciation. The rest of the year, a bow takes the place of the genuflection.

Will I Stop Being Indecisive In Recovery?
Struggling with indecision is like being stuck in the mud. It is no fun whatsoever. Making decisions might be difficult but, like with anything, you get better with practice. With any skill you want to get better at, you need to find times and ways of getting your foot in the door and just doing it.
Fear of making the wrong decision is one of the reasons many people hesitate when faced with a choice. You may be afraid of failure or the consequences of success. You may worry what other people will think. Perfectionism may be getting in your way. If you feel out of practice, especially if you haven't made many big decisions in life, it can feel difficult to just make the decision and go with it.
Indecision does not always have to have a negative connotation. Sometimes, hesitation gives you valuable time to think about the situation. It gives you the chance to gather more information and weigh the facts. If you cannot make a quick decision, it may be a sign the choice does matter. If you cannot make a quick decision, it may be a sign the choice really matters but it might be a warning you may be about to make the wrong decision. The downside of indecision is that you might miss an opportunity if you wait. You could lose out on something you really want or, if you decide to wait too long, you give up your power of choice. Someone else might get hired for that job you wanted or that home you wanted might go to another buyer.
Forget the fear: figure out what it is you want and write it down. If you are considering a job change but worried about the risk,s maybe the new job will pay less. Consider how to reduce income and how that will impact your life.
Tune in to how you feel. There comes a time no matter how much information you have, the decision will not be easier. The best time is always now to make some decisions to get your life on track.
To become an expert, you have to practice small. Start with little daily decisions. Decide what to have for lunch, pick a route to work, and go to a store knowing what you will buy.
Decisions seem bigger than they are. If you are struggling, ask yourself if it matters in 10 years what you do. You can sell the car, or move back, or choose something else. You may quit your job if you like. Try not to take the decision more seriously than you need to.
The bottom line is to trust yourself and your instincts. If you are struggling with choices, know your strengths lie in it always being your choice. Nobody is perfect or always chooses correctly. You can rest in knowing your decisions will help you make a better choice down the road, too.
