The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, William Nwankwo Alo, has called for a more comprehensive identification of risks associated with the Labour sector, for inclusion in the National Risk Register.
He stated this in Abuja at the flag-off of a workshop on the Development of National Risk Register (NRR) for Nigeria, organized for the staff of the Ministry.
Describing as narrow, the risk proposed by the Risk Assessment Working Group (RAWG) for ownership by the Ministry (Industrial Action Affecting Key Industries and Government-run Services), the permanent secretary said it was necessary to develop in-house capacities on the subject for more comprehensive identification of risks associated with the Labour sector".
Represented by Director, Human Resources and Management, Mr Ajibola Ibrahim, the Permanent Secretary explained that the National Risk Register is developed and maintained by countries to serve as information and planning tool on risk identification and management, and Nigeria is adopting the process as a best practice.
The resource persons from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), Ahmed Abba and JohnBosco Ekeocha, discussed the guiding principles of the National Risks Assessment, which require all relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to work together to produce a consistent and coherent assessment of risks that affect Nigeria over the next five years using an agreed process.

The Land Rover Freelander is a fairly neat shape, having evolved and matured during its lifetime rather than undergoing complete redesigns.
The latest round of revisions in 2011 brought a redesigned front bumper and the grille comes in different finishes depending on which engine is chosen. Other changes include a black surround for the rear lights, slightly larger door mirrors and a broader array of colours and design of alloy wheels.
The Land Rover badge is now rimmed in silver, rather than gold. It's hardly noticeable. The rear lights are the most obvious features that mark out the latest Freelander. They have gained clear inner lenses and a black surround. The result looks, to our eyes at least, a touch brasher than its predecessor but nonetheless modern.
Previously, the grille sat further down the nose of the Freelander, but now it has been lifted to sit in line with the headlights, and the slightly odd incision above the number plate fills the gap that it leaves. Black B-pillars and D-pillars are traditional Freelander styling cues that have stayed for this facelift.
The design is beginning to look a little long in the tooth, although it still has huge appeal compared to the awkward looking Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Line it up next to the latest Range Rover or Evoque, however, and it's becoming increasingly clear that a new model, with a new look is needed.

Урбах (Ремстал) е община, намираща се на изток от Щутгарт в Баден-Вюртемберг в долината на река Ремс и принадлежи на региона на Щутгарт.

История
Урбах е споменат за първи път документално през 1181 г. като Uracbach: Император Фридрих I Барбароса издава на 25 май 1181 г. грамота за това, че взема под своя защита манастира Аделсберг ().

Забележителности

Една нова забележителност е Кулата Урбах (). Това е един от 16-те малки архитектурни обекта, направени по долината на Ремс в рамките на градинското шоу през пролетта на 2019 г.

«La camisa negra» es el nombre del tercer sencillo del álbum Mi sangre del cantautor colombiano Juanes, escrito por este y Octavio Mesa. Se trata de una fusión entre guasca música de carrilera (folclore de Antioquia), pop rock y  rock alternativo. Esta canción fue incluida en el recopilatorio exclusivo grabado en vivo titulado "Juanes MTV Unplugged" de 2012.

En Alemania llegó a ser muy vendido; como así también en países como Bulgaria, Austria, Francia y Grecia. "La camisa negra" dio paso para la difusión de otros sencillos del álbum Mi sangre.

En Italia, la canción causó controversia porque al comienzo se creía que el título era una alusión a Benito Mussolini; sin embargo Juanes descartó este tipo de comentarios diciendo que su canción hablaba sobre un amor tóxico.

Información
En el año 2005 Juanes lanzó "Mi Sangre" en Inglaterra, Asia y Australia, comenzando con una intensa gira de promoción y luego una serie de conciertos, por dichas regiones.

En la película La ciudad del silencio aparece tocando este tema.

En el tercer episodio de la serie estadounidense Glee "Amigos a Capela" suena una versión acústica de la canción.

Polémicas
La canción fue usada en Italia para apoyar el neofascismo, porque algunos sectores asociaron "La camisa negra" (en italiano "camicia nera") con los grupos del tipo milicias del fascismo italiano conocidos como Camisas Negras que sirvieron de soporte al régimen fascista del dictador Benito Mussolini. Algunos clubes nocturnos concurridos por simpatizantes de la tercera posición alzaban sus manos haciendo el saludo fascista cuando la canción sonaba. En respuesta, la red de noticias Indymedia de tendencia izquierdista, llamó a sabotear la canción. Tiempo después Juanes declaró que: "La camisa negra" no tiene nada que ver con el fascismo o con Mussolini... La gente puede interpretar la música de muchas maneras."

La canción fue censurada en República Dominicana, debido al doble sentido que contiene en algunos versos, indicando breves insinuaciones en las frases "Y abajo tengo un difunto" y "Pa' enterrartelo. ¡Mamita!". El equipo de Juanes respondió que él se sentía decepcionado de que los gobernadores prohibieran dicha canción en República Dominicana "cuando la salsa y la bachata poseen letras más fuertes y groseras que el pop latino".

Música y estructura
La camisa negra "está escrito en tiempo común en la tonalidad de fa sostenido menor. [2] La canción es llevado por un rasgueo de guitarra acústica que suena a un moderado 97 latidos por minuto, con una melodía de acompañamiento en la guitarra eléctrica. [2] La canción se organiza en la forma común verso-estribillo, [3] y se extiende por Juanes en intervalo de una octava y media, de C a F # 4 # 5 [2].

Recepción de la crítica
La canción recibió críticas mixtas, entre ellas positivas por parte de los críticos. Contactmusic.com declaró que la canción "es una buena introducción al mundo de Juanes, ya que exhibe plenamente su estilo de guitarra y voz absorbente." MyVillage dio a la canción dos de cada cinco estrellas, comentando que "si bien tiene un cierto encanto al respecto, desde luego a Juan no le importará perder el tren en esta ocasión. "

Apariciones en otros medios
 La canción está disponible en el videojuego Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 publicado por Konami para PlayStation 2, Xbox y Gamecube. Junto a "Tierra Buena", "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" de Pitbull, y la versión de "La Bamba" son las únicas canciones en no ser hechas exclusivamente para el videojuego y son varias de las que tienen contenido latino.

Tuvo su aparición en la famosa serie Glee.

Desempeño en las Listas
En los Estados Unidos, la canción tuvo un buen desempeño a nivel comercial, llegó al número ochenta y nueve en el Billboard Hot 100. Tuvo un rendimiento aún mejor en las clasificaciones latinas, alcanzando la cima de la lista Hot Latin Tracks durante ocho semanas no consecutivas, superando el Latín Pop Airplay del año, y alcanzando el número dos en el Airplay América Tropical. Billboard figuran la canción en el número dos en el 2005 a fin de año de éxitos Hot Latin Songs, detrás de su compatriota colombiana Shakira con la canción "La Tortura". La canción obtuvo buenos resultados en Europa, liderando las listas en Austria, Francia, Alemania, Italia, España y Suiza e ingresando en los primeros veinte puestos en Bélgica, Finlandia, Irlanda, los Países Bajos y Noruega. El sencillo fue certificado de oro en Suiza y es uno de los Top 10 de sencillos en la historia del país.

Video musical
El video musical de la canción fue estrenado en 2005. En el video, Juanes llega a un pueblo, acompañado por dos mujeres y un hombre. El hombre y las mujeres se bajan del coche, y el hombre empieza a tocar una guitarra, mientras que las mujeres bailan. Una onda sale de la guitarra, y excepto Juanes, toda persona a través de la cual la onda pasa es congelada en el tiempo, realizando el mismo movimiento repetidamente, imitando un baile. Durante el último estribillo, la onda cambia de dirección, y la gente de la ciudad desaparece.

Ghani to Create "Perception"
That They Were Beating Taliban
That They Were Beating Taliban">
There's That Impeachable Call: Biden Pressured
Red State, by Nick Arama
Posted By: Dreadnought, 9/1/2021 12:06:32 AM
Joe Biden was telling America in July that the Taliban weren't going to take over Afghanistan, that no one could have known that was going to happen. He maintains that no one told him differently, a claim we've already shown was a lie as he received a cable in June from officials in the State Department indicating that there was a likelihood that the Taliban would take over quickly once the U.S. pulled out at the end of August. But it turns out that Biden was playing even more games behind the scenes, and something different was going on than what he was telling Americans to our faces. According to a transcript

If I had to make a guess, this explains Ghani's abrupt exit from Afghanistan with a massive amount of cash. It was his price for aiding and abetting Joe Biden in this lie. This is the way Biden has always conducted business. Everything is contingent upon getting his way through bribery. This lowlife has been making deals like this for decades. We have had a complete amoral criminal posing as a United States Senator for 47 years. Old Joe is always working an angle to make himself look good. The man is a worth piece of lying excrement and that is the nicest thing I can say about him.

Will Vindman vouch for the call? After all he is the alphabets' golden boy when it comes to Presidential phone calls. If what is written by Red State is true, Biden's communications with the Afghan leader are just as impeachable as were DJT's communications with the Ukraine. Don't hold your breathe on this one.

#1 … re: "explains Ghani's abrupt exit." He's running for his life from the Taliban and their friends (the Biden Administration). He's expecting a sniper from the USA to come shut him up. Dead men tell no tales.

This is a page torn from the Obama playbook and strongly indicates that the slimy kenyan is calling the shots for Joe. He did exactly the same thing in Iraq with his "ISIS is on the run" statement when ISIS was taking over the whole country unimpeded by American interference except for the publicized bombing of a few empty warehouses.

Every day I wake up thinking that things can't get any worse or more absurd and every morning I'm wrong. How long can this go on? When are we, as a nation, going to put a stop to it? Impeachment is not the answer - it will never pass. He needs to be forced to resign. The Republicans in congress, all 263 of them, should be pounding on the Oval Office door and demanding it until he does it.

The leftist elites were always fond of parroting the WaPo line that Trump was "a malignant narcissist in the White House!" I don't know how a president who was constantly putting America first could be either. They were just mad that he fought back. And that was only against the elites, not the Democrat rank-and-file (as opposed to vilifying and insulting half the country). I don't remember from my counseling studies whether narcissism and sociopathy can be diagnosed dually or somebody is just one or the other. But with Walkaway Joe, he's clearly a sociopath. No conscience, little regard for life or the truth, and he's still a con man, his cognitive decline notwithstanding.

The pieces all fit together don't they. Biden the cheater seals the deal by delivering the required pallet of cash. If Ghani was smart, he would have required the form of payment to be in gold bullion and cryptos. Biden you cheater, resign, pal, or be impeached, convicted, and put out on the street in total disgrace. With Kamalie right behind you. Pubbies in the house, could you be bothered to get moving on those Articles of Impeachment while biden the cheater figures out what he wants to do. I don't care who controls the house. Just draw up the dam things and let us have a look at them. And Turtle, can you work in some time in your very busy schedule to circle the wagons in the senate and prepare for the hearing. I'm sure Pierre Delecto can't wait to help you out. sarc/ off.

The Insurance policy will never become potus. After he's impeached, Biden will become like the movie Weekend at Bernies. The Dems will prop him up for an occasional appearance. If I were Kamala, I would resign, citing health problems and get out of harms way. Is that job really worth it?

Nothing can happen to Biden because then the Democrats would lose the Senate when Kamala moves up.

Mark Steyn at his website had an article a week ago about the debacle in Afghanistan. Basically said that Afghan elders back around early 2000s when the US was looking to create new government wanted the Afghan King restored but the US said no. They wanted someone more Westernized and so we got Karzai and Ghani - both of course, became fabulously wealthy by their "public service."

I've been clamoring for the Joetato's impeachment since way before the Afghan debacle. Now I'm not sure. If that fool is removed we get in my humble opinion someone much worse in Kamala Harris. Who is Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama rolled into one corrupt package.

The "D" beside the faux-President's name means he will NEVER, ever, be held accountable for his crimes. No democrat ever is. To believe otherwise is to deny historical precedent and expect a modern-day miracle.

According to an article at The Gateway Pundit today, "the Department of Defense had foreknowledge of the Kabul Airport suicide bomber but denied permission to fire a Predator Drone missile once they had a lock on him," so thirteen of our military had to die. We have come to a point in our country's history where I have no problem believing this is absolutely true. Our military could've crushed the Taliban in a heartbeat, but instead the evil Marxists running things would rather watch Americans be obliterated.

"...whether it is true or not..." tells you all you need to know about Joe Biden. It is the cornerstone of his political career. Lying, deception, manipulation is what Biden thinks is the essence of politics-- and most of Washington. It's why he can callously repeat his son Beau's name and publicise his grief. There might be a private place in his psyche where he actually mourns his son's death. But he can't stop bringing it into speeches, especially when he is on the ropes. It is political magic. Whether it is true or not.

President Biden issued a statement Thursday slamming the Supreme Court's refusal to block a Texas law prohibiting abortion after a heartbeat can be detected. Biden said the high court's ruling would generate "unconstitutional chaos" by codifying a measure that empowers private citizens to enforce a ban on abortion and vowed to use a "whole-of-government" approach to respond to the law. While the law allows any individual to sue medical providers who perform an abortion, instead of deferring enforcement to the state government, it does not penalize the women who undergo the procedure to terminate their pregnancy.

SACRAMENTO — Republicans harnessed pandemic anger months ago to qualify the recall election against California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Now the Democrat is banking on a pandemic strategy of his own to save his job. After tiptoeing around Covid-19 issues early this summer, Newsom is issuing mask and vaccine mandates and taking a tough-on-the-virus approach in the final stretch of the recall campaign. The tactics have turned the race into the nation's biggest referendum on how to fight the pandemic — and further inflamed partisan divisions over public health. Just as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis thinks banning mandates is a winning message in his red state,

The Supreme Court formally denied a request from Texas abortion providers to freeze a state law that bars abortions after six weeks. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the three liberal justices in dissent. The court's move means that the law -- which is one of the strictest in the nation and bans abortion before many people know they are pregnant -- will remain on the books. The law allows private citizens to bring civil suits against anyone who assists a pregnant person seeking an abortion in violation of the ban. In an unsigned opinion, the majority wrote that while the clinics had raised "serious

Philadelphia Inquirer (PA), by Anthony R. Wood & Robert Moran Original Article
Ida's moisture-laden remnants evidently spawned multiple tornadoes throughout the region in an hours-long siege Wednesday, ripping off roofs, uprooting trees, and snapping utility poles. And the storm that also set off road-closing downpours isn't quite done with us. Forecasters are warning that the Philadelphia region could experience its most robust river flooding in a decade during the next two days. Late Wednesday night, floodwaters swamped Columbus Boulevard as the Delaware River rose nearly 1.5 feet above flood stage. "We'll probably have a lot of it," said Sarah Johnson, a lead meteorologist at the National Weather Service Office in Mount Holly. The Delaware River was forecast to crest late Friday

"We're enduring an historic weather event tonight with record breaking rain across the city, brutal flooding and dangerous conditions on our roads," de Blasio said.
Biden Polls Crater: Most Want Him to Resign,
Shocking Number Is on Impeachment 16 replies
Joe Biden's ship has finally run aground on the polls. They began to nosedive at the beginning of the Afghanistan debacle in the middle of last month. For example, his polling average went under 50 by August 16. But now, Biden's numbers have absolutely cratered in all respects. Both the Real Clear Politics average and the FiveThirtyEight average were underwater. FiveThiryEight had 47.2 disapproving and 46.7 approving. Real Clear Politics really skewered him with 49.2 disapproving to 45.8 approving, first time the approval was under 46. That last graph is pretty striking. If you factor in that the polls tend to weight to Democrats, you know the numbers are likely even worse.

More veterans are reaching out for crisis line help after the collapse of Afghanistan than before Biden's disastrous withdrawal from the country. A sharp uptick in calls has been seen since the Taliban took control of Kabul. It's a sign of the level of stress that veterans are experiencing as a military presence in Afghanistan ends, especially those veterans who served in that country. The increase is actually being seen as a good sign for the professionals in charge of the helplines. It means former service members are reaching out for help, an encouraging trend

Power Line, by Paul Mirengoff Original Article
According to reports, the U.S. has evacuated nearly 120,000 people from Afghanistan. Only about 6,000 of them are Americans. Moreover, it appears that only a small percentage of the non-American evacuees hold the special immigrant visa given to Afghans employed by, or on behalf of, the U.S. government. Representative Tom Tiffany (R., Wis.) says that of the 2,000 Afghans housed at a base in his state, not one has that visa. In addition, the Wall Street Journal reports that according to U.S. officials, a majority of interpreters and other U.S. visa applicants were left behind in Afghanistan. Thus, we evacuated an enormous number of people who didn't receive, or even seek

The president added that "my administration is deeply committed to the constitutional right established in Roe v. Wade nearly five decades ago and will protect and defend that right." The law went into effect on Wednesday after the Supreme Court declined to act on an emergency petition to block it. The law's unusual enforcement mechanism

The American Medical Association (AMA) is calling for the "immediate end" to the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19, and for doctors to stop prescribing it for that purpose, amid a spike in the use of the drug. Ivermectin, often used as a deworming agent in animals and sometimes for humans, is not approved to treat COVID-19 and has not been shown to work for that purpose. Poison control centers have recorded a five-fold increase in calls related to ivermectin, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The World Health Organization has issued a warning about yet another new COVID-19 variant it fears could potentially evade vaccines. That variant, called Mu, was first detected in Colombia in January, and has been announced just as the Delta variant finally appears to be peaking in the U.S. Over 4,600 cases of the variant, whose scientific name is B.1.621, have been spotted since then, and it has spread to more than 40 countries. Almost 2,000 cases of the variant have been detected in the United States.

Clinton, 73, and Abedin, 45, looked like the very best of friends as they joined several companions at Carissa's The Bakery in East Hampton, where they were seen laughing and chatting over coffees and pastries while soaking up the sunshine at an outdoor table. The former Secretary of State and her longtime aide looked as though they had nary a care in the world
Biden's Afghanistan Speech Shows He Is Sociopathic 39 replies
How many times has Joe Biden ranted at us about why he is right on Afghanistan? I've lost track, but I think this at least the fifth "official" rant. But this one was the worst yet and you could feel it. He was just so angry. He's not angry at the Taliban. He's not angry at his own failures or those of his people. He's angry at the people left behind. And, he's angry at you. He's angry at you for not simply accepting what an "extraordinary success" this all was. He keeps screaming about ending the war, a point that no one is even contesting
Kamala Harris: Texas Abortion Law Will
Hurt 'Women of Color' 37 replies
Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday released a statement in reaction to the Texas abortion law that went into effect, asserting it will "dramatically reduce access to reproductive care" for "women of color." She ultimately joined President Biden and other left-wing politicians in promising to fight for every woman's ability to abort her child."Today, a new law takes effect in Texas that directly violates the precedent established in the landmark case of Roe v. Wade. This all-out assault on reproductive health effectively bans abortion for the nearly 7 million Texans of reproductive age,"
Milley: 'Possible' US will have to

New York Post, by Samuel Chamberlain Original Article
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told reporters Wednesday that it is "possible" American forces will coordinate with the Taliban on operations against the terrorist group ISIS-K. Milley made the comment—offering no elaboration—during a Pentagon briefing alongside Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in response to a question about what communication between US military officials and Taliban leaders during the evacuation of Afghanistan meant for the relationship between the two and "the possibility of any kind of coordination in counter-terrorism operations against ISIS-K in Afghanistan." Austin responded first, saying that "we were working with the Taliban on a very narrow set of issues,
McConnell dismisses GOP's Biden impeachment
chatter: 'That's not

Washington Times, by Haris Alic Original Article
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday dismissed the notion that President Biden would be impeached over the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, arguing that a Democratic-controlled Congress would never allow it. The impeachment question came during an event in the Republican leader's home state of Kentucky. "The president is not going to be removed from office. There's a Democratic House, a narrowly Democratic Senate. That's not going to happen," Mr. McConnell said. "There isn't going to be an impeachment." The GOP leader added that the only way to change the direction of the country is at the ballot box. "In this country, the report card you get

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told reporters Wednesday that President Joe Biden will not "be removed from office" in wake of the deadly Afghan evacuation that left 13 U.S. military personnel killed, an estimated 200 American citizens stranded, and billions of dollars worth of equipment in the hands of the Taliban. "Well, look the president is not going to be removed from office … I think the way these behaviors get adjusted in this country is at the ballot box," the Wall Street Journal reported McConnell's remarks. "There isn't going to be an impeachment," the Kentucky Senator who lost his majority in the 2020 election cycle added.

Meet the future new Institute of Contemporary Art museum in Miami Design District
The ICA Miami announced few days ago, its new permanent home in the Design District. The museum will be built on donated land and supported through private donations.
If all goes to plan, a 37,500 square-foot, three story contemporary art museum with a 15, 000 square-foot sculpture garden will open in time for Art Basel 2016 on Northeast 41st Street in Miami's Design District. The institution will be located 50 feet east of the existing de la Cruz Collection.
The new permanent home for the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA MIAMI) – the first U.S project designed by Madrid architects Aranguren & Gallegos Arquitectos — will be built on land donated by Miami Design District Associates, a partnership between Dacra Development's Craig Robins and L Real Estate. The design and construction will be funded by philanthropists Norman and Irma Braman.
"The name will be ICA Miami," Norman Braman said last week, as he tapped his finger atop preliminary artistic renderings of its anodized metal signage from inside his Biscayne Boulevard office. "There will be no naming in terms of the museum. … It will not be built with any public funds, it will be all privately funded."
Over the past two years, Guccivuitton has staked out a unique position that meditates on the rich history of artist-run galleries while presenting content that reflects authentic regional material and vernacular culture. The exhibition at ICA Miami demonstrates the collective's interests in challenging notions of authorship, the traditional role of the artist and the value accorded to institutional structures.

If you've worked in ministry for the past 10 years, you've seen a rise in the number of hand-held electronic devices in the pews. And it's not just millennials heavily using smartphones—older parishioners are too, with four-in-ten seniors owning a smartphone as of 2017.
Whether they're inside or outside the church, people are living an increasingly digital lifestyle.
And they expect their churches to keep up with them. That's why many churches are turning to mobile church apps to better connect with their parishioners. And they're taking it a step further by using digital tools that are specifically built for the church to help prepare their congregants for church events like Lent and Christmas.
With Holy Week just around the corner, here are some ways your church can use excellent mobile technology to help your parishioners prepare their minds and hearts for the upcoming celebration.
If your church has recorded past Holy Week messages, the weeks leading up to end of Lent is the perfect time to share them. Each day of Holy Week is significant. In fact, the majority of the text in the Gospels pertains to the events that Holy Week commemorates. Since this is such a spiritually-rich time and your parishioners are still fasting, it's a great time to remind them of why the celebration is significant and encourage them to stay reverent until the end.
Whether you have audio files or videos of previous Holy Week-related messages, your church can upload them to its mobile app. These messages will help remind parishioners of what you've talked about in previous years and encourages them to remain steadfast during this season. Leading up to Holy Week, identify the sermons you'd like to disseminate and queue them up to share in your app.
If your church doesn't yet have a mobile app yet, don't worry. Talk to an expert at Pushpay to see how you can get a custom church app in time for Holy Week. Our mobile technology experts will be happy to walk through how an app can help your church drive participation and help your parishioners prepare for the upcoming season.
Your church app home screen is the first place parishioners will land when they open the app. It's typically where churches post updates about events coming up, guide people to recently recorded sermons, and even host church news.
It's also a great place to host Holy Week content so that it's easily accessible for app users. Your church can create a Holy Week devotional, videos, or even promote community groups on the app's home screen so it's easier for your parishioners to find Holy Week-related content.
With the Dynamic Homescreen within the Pushpay custom mobile app, it's easy for your church to update the home page and make sure that the right seasonal content is visible to your parishioners. This is just another way your church can ramp up to Holy Week and support the season's observers.
If you're on a time crunch, you can access free Holy Week messages and devotionals in our free ebook, Holy Week. The ebook is also filled with other great content about how your church can prepare parishioners for this season of the year.
Push notifications are an effective communication and promotion tool and can be used any time of the year. But notifications are especially useful leading up to church events. Before Holy Week, your church can send out custom push notifications that do a number of things. You can use them to encourage people to pray, remain steadfast during the fast, follow along with the devotional, join a group, or simply encourage people to attend a homily.
You can even use geotargeting features to target people with push notifications if they're not at one of your services. For instance, you can target people 30 miles or more outside of the church radius with a message that motivates them to arrive at the sermon on time.
Push notifications are an extremely effective tool for driving participation in seasonal observances. Be sure to create them early and send one or two each week leading up to Holy Week.
Holy Week isn't necessarily known for a huge influx of first-time visitors, but it will inherently draw in a few extra people. That makes this season a great opportunity to connect newcomers with your parish or church. Be sure to encourage your regular attendees to invite their friends and family members to your homilies and events. You can make the announcement from the stage, send out push notifications, or even send occasional emails to that effect.
For your next step, get your connect cards ready. They're a church staple, but many parishes are going beyond traditional paper cards. Instead, they're using digital connect cards within their church app, making it extremely easy to identify visitors and follow up with them after the service or Lenten season. In preparation for Holy Week, make sure your connect card is ready to go in your app.
The Pushpay custom church app has a connect card feature that allows newcomers to enter their information in, then church leaders access to that information. At some point during one of your Holy Week homilies, take some time to direct people to your app and encourage newcomers to fill out a connect card. Be sure to ask for their telephone number, zip code, and email address. This way, you know exactly where your visitors are coming from and can plan some outreach events around those areas. Plus, you'll then have contact information you can use to send them a thank you email or give them next steps ton getting involved at your church.
Apart from prayer and fasting, almsgiving is one of the pillars of Holy Week and a spiritual discipline that can be easy for parishioners to forget about or ignore. But even when homilies are preached about the importance of charity, people can simply forget to bring cash with them to a service. And the donation plate gets passed to people who simply can't give in that moment.
That's where the importance of a digital giving platform comes into play. Intuitive giving tools like Pushpay make giving easy for your parishioners and for your admins that work on the church's finances. Setting up a specific alms fund in the platform is easy, and parishioners can simply open the app and donate within 10 seconds. It streamlines generosity and encourages charitable giving among your congregants.
Click here to talk to a Pushpay expert to see how mobile giving can organically encourage charity within your parish.
Don't have a Holy Week plan in place yet? The free ebook, Holy Week, is an excellent resource for churches to use as they approach this season. Download it today to get free devotional plans you can share with your parishioners and discover how your church can drive more engagement, almsgiving, and participation through this season.

Consultation re Bridleway to Duxford ford
By Martin Taylor
Do you ever use the Public Bridleway at Duxford which leads to the ford & Chimney Meadows Nature Reserve? If so you may be able to assist Oxfordshire County Council with the following matter.
In March 2010 Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) decided to install a lockable gate at the entrance to Bridleway 9 which leads from Duxford to the ford in order to prevent the use of that bridleway by vehicular traffic and safeguard the public.
OCC is currently seeking the views of anyone who is familiar with Bridleway 9 and/or has knowledge of how it is used in order to reach a view as to whether it is necessary to retain the gate for safety purposes. To do this we are posing the following questions:
Are you aware of any attempts by motorised vehicles to use the bridleway or any other anti-social behaviour on the bridleway which may affect the safety of persons using it over the last year or so? The more detail of a particular incident (e.g. date, time, description of vehicle, etc.) you are able to provide the better.
Are you able to comment on whether the existence of the lockable gate has served a safety purpose? If so, please provide the basis for your answer.
We will be setting up an online consultation posing the same questions on the OCC website. The link to the consultation is below, access will be available from 1 August. We encourage you to use this as the primary contact for the survey.
All responses will remain confidential and if you observe anything you think may fall within these queries please respond to the consultation at any point. The consultation will run from 1st August 2016 to 31st July 2017.
Whilst some people will use the online portal it is recognised that not everyone has access to the internet or able to use online services so we offer a postal address where residents can send their views, see below.
Thank you for your assistance and if you have any further queries don't hesitate to contact me.

AVEC holding Logo Design Contest - The Delta Discovery, Inc.
Get your creative juices flowing and possibly win $50! AVEC is holding a design contest to commission a special logo to commemorate our 50th year of providing power. AVEC first started energizing small villages in rural Alaska in 1968. Thanks to the perseverance and dedication of our power plant operators, staff, and members, we surmounted countless challenges over the past 50 years and now our service area is the largest of any retail electric cooperative in the world.
This single-use logo should include the words 50 years or five decades or "since 1968", along with the name of our co-op. The overall design could incorporate one or several images or symbols of electric power, village life, power plant operators, wind turbines, Northern Lights, or whatever the artist feels best expresses how electric power has enhanced our lives. All work should be original.
The contest deadline is November 6, 2018. If possible, the finished artwork should be a high-resolution .eps file. But we can also accept hand-drawn artwork that is faxed or mailed to us. Artwork can be submitted via e-mail at [email protected]; faxed toll-free to 800-478-4086; or mailed to 4831 Eagle Street, Anchorage, Alaska, 99503. Include your contact information with your artwork submission.

(March 1, 2019 – Toronto,ON) On the first day of March the Canadian Screen Awards gala broadcast still seems a long way off. It is, after all, airing on the last day of the month. However, the hoopla has begun and the PR barrage has started and it's all very exciting news.
Much like the U.S. Academy Awards®, the Canadian Academy of Film and Television decided to go hostless in 2019. In the place of a single spotlight, there will be a wealth of Canadian talent onstage to welcome winners and hand over 18 of the coveted Canadian Screen Awards during the Broadcast Gala.
Presenters include Jerry O'Connell (Carter, Sliders, Stand by Me); Jennifer Whalen, Aurora Browne, Meredith MacNeill, and Carolyn Taylor (Baroness von Sketch Show); Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Jean Yoon, Andrea Bang, Simu Liu, Andrew Phung, and Nicole Power (Kim's Convenience), Catherine Reitman, cast members from Schitt's Creek, and singer-songwriter Jann Arden.

Past Canadian Screen Award-winner Stephan James, who was nominated earlier this year for a Golden Globe for his work in the series Homecoming opposite Julia Roberts will be in attendance to accept the first ever Radius Award. Deepa Mehta will also be honoured with the 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award. Other confirmed presenters on the show will include Kim Coates, Jennifer Podemski, Tamara Podemski, Sarah Podemski and Steph Song.
The Cogeco Fund Audience Choice Award winner will be revealed during the live broadcast by Carmila stars Elise Bauman and Natasha Negovanlis.
But the Broadcast Gala is the Big Finish. It's the Cheery On Top. There are 6 days of events leading up to the final day and the Broadcast Gala. It's called Canadian Screen Week and if you're a fan of Canadian film and television, there's something for you to do and see. There's more information and details online.
The 2019 Canadian Screen Awards Broadcast Gala will air live from the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts on CBC and on the free CBC Gem streaming service on Sunday, March 31 at 8 p.m. (9 p.m. AT/ 9:30 p.m. NT).

From the Staffordshire hills to the Humber estuary, spirited explorer Tom Fort embarks on a 170-mile journey down Britain's third-longest river, the Trent. Beginning on foot, he soon transfers to his own custom-built punt, the Trent Otter, and rows many miles downstream. Along the way he encounters the power stations that generate much of the nation's electricity, veterans of the catastrophic floods of 1947, the 19th-century brewers of Burton and a Bronze Age boatman who once made a life along the river.
I had thought long and hard about the craft for my adventures. She had to be light enough for me to manage on my own, and - at a pinch - to be transported for short distances overland. She had to be big enough to take me and my supplies, and for me to sleep in it should the necessity arise. At the same time she had to have the minimum possible draught so that she could be manoeuvred in shallow water. Most important of all, she had to be right for the river, aesthetically and philosophically. If a river could be pleased with a boat, this river had to be pleased with my boat.
Those were the requirements. I took them to my friend Jon Beer, who - as well as being an exceedingly accomplished angler and writer - is enviably talented with his hands. I knew that he had designed and made a punt for skimming up and down the minuscule River Cherwell. So I asked him to make one for me, for the Trent, and he did: a punt, but no ordinary punt. She was fifteen and a half feet and a little more in length, three foot three inches in the beam, square-ended and flattish-bottomed but slender and sleek, made from sheets of plywood, with oak blocks at either end and a central mainframe of oak to hold her together. She was, and is – tough, durable, manoeuvrable and marvellously elegant: a boat for one man. One man and his boat.
I had painted her a soothing olive green, and as I walked down the A34 to renew acquaintance with her, I decided that she should be known as the Trent Otter. This was partly because the creatures were obviously about, but more to honour a long-departed angler called J.W.Martin, who used the pseudonym 'Trent Otter' for a series of books with titles like My Fishing Days and Fishing Ways and Days Among the Pike and Perch. He had long been a favourite of mine.
Tom's passions include fishing and cricket, and his enthusiasms include playing the piano, pubs and rugby union.


Fernando Ordonez is a firefighter paramedic for the City of Miami. He is assigned to downtown station 1 on the Hazardous Materials Team, as the HazMat driver. Fernando is 33 years old, married to his supportive wife, Carmen. They have a two year old son, Andres.
Fernando known to all as Fernie, is a compassionate and caring guy, always there when one is in need. Fernie has served his community for over a decade, and now he is in need of our help.
In December 2014, Fernie began to experience excrutiating stomach pain. While seeking medical help at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Miami Beach he found that he had malignant ascites. After doing an endoscopy they found he had cancer cells from the biopsy taken.
Within a few days from the onset of his symptoms he was diagnosed with stage 4 gastric cancer that had spread to the peritoneaum. Fernie is fighting this cancer with the positive attitude and strong faith that he is known for. He is on his third chemotherapy treatment.
We are asking for your support to help Fernie in his fight with cancer. Any amount of donation is highly appreciated. It will help with the mounting expenses and medical bills.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and God bless.
It is with deep sadness that we let you know that Fernando passed away on October 1st to be with the Lord after a brave year-long battle against cancer. There are no words to express the pain and how greatly he will be missed. He leaves behind his wife and 2 year-old son. Funds donated here will go towards his son's college fund and other expenses the family may incur.
Fernando has been in the hospital since August 25th. They are controlling his pain with around the clock pain medication and has not been able to eat since he was admitted (currently only receiving IV's). His wife has been staying with him at the hospital, while his parents take care of their 2 year old son.
Fernando and his family wanted to take a second to thank you for your donations and for sharing this GoFundMe Page. It really means a lot to them and has helped eased the financial burdens that come along with fighting cancer. They continue to believe in miracles and know this will all be used for God's glory.
Wanted to share a quick update. Fernando had to go to the emergency room today for severe pains and was admitted to the hospital. His family asks that you please keep him in your prayers for his complete healing. We believe in miracles and in the power of prayer.
"Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."
Hi everyone, wanted to give a quick update on Fernando's condition since being diagnosed with Stage 4 Gastric cancer in December 2014. After undergoing conventional treatment (toxic chemotherapy) the oncologists have told him there is nothing else they can do.
He is going through horrible pains and is having to go to the hospital almost every week to have ascites drained (fluid in the abdomen) and has already lost 60 pounds. Fernando is fighting strong and his faith is in God, knowing that there is nothing impossible for him.
After much prayer, and given that U.S. doctors have given him no hope, he and his family have decided to seek alternative treatment in Mexico. The alternative hospital has successful stories with stage 4 cancer survivors that chose a healthier (non-toxic) way to treat cancer. It combines the latest in non-toxic, evidence-based medicine that selectively targets cancer cells, while rebuilding the immune system.
Fernando's (as with most health insurances) does not cover alternative treatments, which is why they need your help. The cost of treatment is $42,000. Your generosity (big or small) means so much to us, but even more so to Fernando and his family.
Carmen, My sincerest sympathies to you and your family. You are in my prayers. May God give you the strength to move forward through this difficult time.
Fernando (Fernie) Ordonez, is a City of Miami Fire-Rescue Firefighter/ Haz-Mat Driver/Specialist/ Paramedic, was recently diagnosed with Cancer. Those of you that know him, or if you don't, please donate to this cause.! All donations will pay for medical bills that incur during this fight for Fernie to BEAT THIS ! Thank You!
From all your friends on the Banquet Team.
RIP. My prayers to the family.

MPR News Intelligence on higher education
Hamline: Endowment took a hit
Alex Friedrich August 12, 2010, 4:53 PM Aug 12, 2010
Vice President for Finance Douglas P. Anderson of Hamline University has answered the question by MPR's Tim Post of why Hamline made the feds' list of colleges that received failing financial health grades.
Anderson said in an e-mailed statement that the university "remains financially healthy."
The data is based on the 2008-2009 fiscal year, he said, and so does not reflect Hamline's current condition. It largely reflects the bad economy's impact on Hamline's endowment.
Since then, he said, the university's endowment has rebounded. Fiscal Year 2010 "will be the eighth year in a row Hamline has achieved positive operating performance," and Anderson said he expects Hamline's score to climb to a 2.4, placing the university "a full point above any concern."
He also said the Department of Education will probably review its method for calculating financial responsibility scores "so it more accurately reflects new accounting standards, and the true impact of volatility in the economic market place."
Post is also trying to get comment from the Mayo school and Crossroads.

TRUMP COMMENTS ON THE HOMELESS PROBLEM
By Michael Snyder - theeconomiccollapseblog.com
If you go visit Japan, I guarantee that you won't see a single person defecating on the sidewalk. It just doesn't happen over there, or in most other highly civilized nations on the planet. But here in the United States, we have such a problem with human waste on our city streets that even the president of the United States is talking about it on national television.
President Trump has been known to comment on the deplorable conditions in other nations from time to time, but during an interview on Monday night Fox host Tucker Carlson asked Trump about the horrific conditions in some of our own cities. In particular, Carlson noted that unlike New York and Los Angeles, there is "no one going to the bathroom on the streets" in Japan...
Trump sat for an interview with Tucker Carlson during his trip to South Korea over the weekend. The Fox News host observed that cities in Japan, host of the Group of 20 summit, had "no graffiti" and "no one going to the bathroom on the streets," and said New York City and Los Angeles had a "major problem with filth." In response, President Trump blamed the liberals that are running those big cities for the current conditions, and he described what some homeless people are going through as "living in hell"...
The president described cities in a dire state, claiming police officers are "getting sick just by walking the beat," and some people are "living in hell."
Some people may be tempted to think that Trump was exaggerating, but the truth is that conditions on the streets of some of our major cities just continue to deteriorate at a very rapid pace.
For example, just consider the following excerpt from a Los Angeles Times article that was published about a month ago...
I've seen so many rats the last two weeks in downtown Los Angeles, I have to suspect they're plotting a takeover of City Hall, which vermin infiltrated last year.
The city of Los Angeles has become a giant trash receptacle. It used to be that illegal dumpers were a little more discreet, tossing their refuse in fields and gullies and remote outposts.
Now city streets are treated like dumpsters, or even toilets -on Thursday, the 1600 block of Santee Street was cordoned off after someone dumped a fat load of poop in the street. I'm not sure when any of this became the norm, but it must have something to do with the knowledge that you can get away with it.
Of course similar things could be said about Seattle, Portland, Denver or just about any major city out west.
When authorities cleaned up the homeless camps that had popped up on a two mile stretch along a bike trail in Orange County last year, this is what they hauled away...
404 tons of debris
13,950 needles (approximate number based on what disposal containers hold)
5,279 pounds of hazardous waste (human waste, propane, pesticides and other materials)
It literally took months to clean everything up, and that was just one very small two mile stretch of southern California.
But when it comes to human feces, nobody can even come close to San Francisco. According to Forbes, there have been more than 118,000 officially reported cases of human feces on the streets since 2011... Since 2011, there have been at least 118,352 reported instances of human fecal matter on city streets.
This is supposed to be one of the wealthiest cities on the entire planet, and yet it has become a giant human manure pile.
Of course much of this is being fueled by drugs. Addicts are often so zombiefied that they don't care who or what is around when it comes time to use the potty. In the U.S. today, more people die from drug overdoses than from traffic accidents, and even the New York Times admits that we are in the midst of the "worst drug crisis in American history".
But for many others, being homeless has nothing to do with drugs at all. The middle class is being eviscerated all around us, and poverty is growing with each passing day. And it turns out that several of the counties with the most unaffordable housing in America just happen to be in California...
ATTOM Data Solutions published its 2Q19 US Home Affordability Report, which reveals median home prices last quarter weren't affordable for the average American in 74% (353 of 480 counties) of the counties analyzed.
The most unaffordable counties, the reported noted, were in Los Angeles County, California; Cook County (Chicago), Illinois; Maricopa County (Phoenix), Arizona; San Diego County, California; and Orange County, California.
There is never going to be any sort of a permanent solution to the homelessness crisis in California until there is a lot more affordable housing, and right now liberal policies are standing in the way of that happening.
Unfortunately, the entire country is likely to see a substantial rise in homelessness as this new economic downturn continues to escalate. At this point things have already gotten so tight that a third of all Americans have cut spending within the last 12 months...
A third of Americans say they've cut spending in the last year, and that percentage is about the same no matter the demographic. Reasons for spending less ranged from a loss of household income and new debt to fear of recession, job loss or large medical bills from an unexpected illness or injury.
Considering the fact that 59 percent of all Americans are currently living paycheck to paycheck, the truth is that most of us are just a couple of bad breaks away from financial disaster.
So instead of looking down on homeless people, the rest of us should be working harder than ever so that we can survive the very rough times that are coming.
Nobody plans to fall into poverty, and nobody actually wants to be homeless.
But tonight more than 550,000 Americans do not have a home, and that number is only going to keep rising.

If you're stuck with 16GB of internal storage on the iPhone 6 or the 6S and find yourself running out of space, you may want to take a look at SanDisk's iXpand Memory Case. It's better than carrying around additional storage separately for sure, and it adds a significant bump in storage while protecting your phone. The company is offering three different storage sizes — 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB, with the respective prices of $60, $100, and $130.
The Memory Case is also modular, so for an additional $40, you can slap on a small 1,900mAh battery pack on the back. That should be a little more than enough to recharge the iPhone 6S from zero to 100 percent. It'll add a hefty bump to your phone, but you'll only have to keep it on when you're low on battery.
Diving with your expensive Apple Watch isn't recommended, but that hasn't stopped people from trying. The Watch can surprisingly can handle its own in shallow depths, but you still might want to get a waterproof case. Catalyst has been offering its regular Apple Watch waterproof case for a while now, but it may not tickle your fancy. The dust- and shock-proof case wraps your $400 watch in silicon, which is not exactly what you want on a fancy smartwatch.
To provide a more premium feel, Catalyst is releasing a limited edition aluminum case for the 42mm version of the Apple Watch. It performs exactly the same as the previous version, so you'll be able to take your Apple Watch down under 165 feet of water. The case's availability is limited, but it's available for purchase now for $200. It comes in gold, silver, or gray.
If you've ever tried to walk and text at the same time, you know the feeling: Your phone balancing precariously on the edge of your palm, mere inches from tumbling to the unforgiving sidewalk below. It's a problem that artist Adam Hirsch aims to solve with HandL, a smartphone case that acts as "an organic interface between hand and phone." The elegant, stitched leather case sports a rear-facing leather bit attached by elastic. Once secured between two fingers, the strap fits snugly, ensuring the attached phone doesn't take any unexpected dives. And, as a nifty bonus feature, the HandL doubles as a makeshift stand.
The HandL's available for the iPhone 6, 6S, and 6S Plus, and the Samsung Note 4 and Note 3, and comes in a variety of colors including black, patent leather, grey, brown, and white. It normally ships for $50 from the company's store, but HandL is hosting a half-off sale on several models this month. Future models may dispense with the case component entirely, said Hirsch, and opt for suspender-like straps that attach to the back of your phone.
Power bank company MyCharge is perhaps best known for its colorful array of power banks and battery-extending cases for the iPhone, iPad, and Samsung's Galaxy series of devices, but it's breaking ground in a novel novel category: VR accessories. At CE Week in New York City, it took the wraps off PowerGear-VR, a lightweight, compact battery that affixes to the side strap of a Samsung Galaxy Gear headset and plugs into its Micro USB port.
Portable keyboards designed to work with your mobile are a dime a dozen, but comparatively few require no power or arduous pairing process. Enter One2Touch's SlimType, an accessory for Samsung's Galaxy series of smartphones that leverages NFC to sync. The process couldn't be simpler: Download the SlimType companion app, slot your smartphone in the attached case, position it next to the keyboard, and you're good to go. The keyboard acts as a seamless extension of your phone's software keyboard. It's got hotkeys, too, for one-touch access to your calendar, contacts, and email. And importantly, the SlimType's comfortable – its textile keys are soft, scratch-resistant, and lightly resistive to the touch.
The SlimType is available at the introductory price of $40, and ships in your choice of cherry red, black sapphire, and white pearl.

Early in the planning stages for each Celebration event, a small cadre of 501st members volunteers to ensure that a number of major milestones and features are planned not only for Celebration attendees, but also members of the Legion, some of who quite literally fly in just to attend the festivities.
On the floor, members fanned out across the convention center, populating the dioramas, props, and stages set up for fans to take pics with their favorite Star Wars characters. In conjunction with members from our sister group, the Rebel Legion, members of Vader's Fist made certain that the scenes fans remember from the movies duly came alive with Stormtroopers, Snowspeeder pilots, astromech droids, Rancors, and Wookiiees. And in a surprise staged well in advance, Chris Hardwick, host of Star Wars Transmission at Celebration VI was fully inducted into the 501st as a Friend of the Legion.
With so much happening, there's just never enough time to do everything Celebration has to offer, and tough choices, even for members of the 501st need to be made: will it be a panel, or a picture? An evening listening to an actor from the Saga or a couple hours spent with friends?
Fortunately, the members of the 501st know how to best maximize their time and opportunities. And, after 15 years of raising funds for charities and community events and, of course, bringing order to the galaxy, having some time to just share with friends, and remember those who we've lost over time, is all a part of belonging to the greater 501st community.
With a focus on remembering our members and all the work everyone has put in, the 501st Celebration Organizers ensured a very special dinner banquet for us all to truly share in as we enjoyed visits on stage from Steven Sansweet, Ian McDiarmid, Anthony Daniels, Peter & Angie Mayhew, and a surprise word of thanks from George Lucas!
Of course, if you're going to throw a great party, you need to cap the evening with a little dessert; a piece of cake, perhaps? But for the 501st, just any cake will not do. No, a party 15 years in the making demands a cake worthy of such an auspicious milestone. So, we naturally celebrated 15 years of glory with a life-size cake of our commander, Lord Vader!
Such a truly fantastic dinner party deserved an even greater after-party! And there's only one being in the entire galaxy that knows how to party through the night, sparing no expense to ensure his guests have an incredible time – Jabba the Hutt. Now we all know the Hutt doesn't just open up his den to just anyone, but with the 501st in full attendance, plus many of our Honorary Members or Friends of the Legion who have contributed to the greater love of Star Wars, how could Jabba really refuse??!
Lasting until well past 2 am, the 501st Bash in Jabba's palace was the perfect capstone to a full day of great Star Wars memories! Of course, it would be a violation of Imperial Security Protocols to disclose everything that went on (and on, and on…), but the legend of the Celebration VI Bash will undoubtedly grow through the years.
It's hard to imagine how anything could possibly top the Celebration VI 501st Banquet & Bash, but with an eye toward the future, we hope to continue celebrating our love of Star Wars and see what our fellow members can dream up next time!
…Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design…!
