Fate's Ransom (The First Argentines #4)
Author: Jeff Wheeler
The Wizr Board
The stench of smoke choked the air, and the hiss of crossbow bolts came like the drone of angry bees. Ransom Barton gazed at the walls of Josselin castle—his castle—and felt anger burn inside him. The Occitanians' garrison was formidable, and each attack that day had been repulsed. It was a strategic castle, along the western border shared by Ceredigion, Occitania, and Brythonica. Seeing a banner with the Fleur-de-Lis hanging from the castle made him want to rip it down and burn it.
He stood solemnly, sweating beneath his armor on the hot summer day, watching as his men continued to lash together another siege ladder in preparation for the next assault. Crossbowmen lined the walls, taking aim and loosing arrows down on Ransom's soldiers, who had built pickets to protect themselves. Occasionally a shaft made it through and injured one of the men.
A rider came into the camp carrying a shield with the emblem of Prince Jon-Landon: three lions atop each other, the tallest on the top of the shield and the smallest on the bottom. It was a variation of King Benedict's standard of a single lion. Ransom had heard it said, in jest, that Jon-Landon had chosen three lions to represent himself and his two elder brothers. Privately, he suspected Jon-Landon had chosen three because Benedict had only chosen one.
"Where is Lord Ransom?" asked the newcomer with the shield.
"Over there," answered one of Ransom's men, pointing. "And get off your charger before you get shot at, you fool!"
Even as the words were spoken, a bolt whooshed past them and struck a nearby tree with a resounding thud. The knight dismounted without any haste, seemingly unaware or unaffected by the danger, and then walked over to where Ransom stood observing the castle from within the shelter of the trees.
"My lord duke," said the knight. "My name is Captain Faulkes."
Ransom had heard of the man. He was Jon-Landon's battle captain, the knight Benedict had assigned to keep Jon-Landon from getting himself killed in battle. A royal bodyguard. He looked too young for the job, for he was surely younger than Ransom, but then, age was not always a quantifier of ability.
"Why aren't you at the siege of Averanche?" Ransom asked the knight.
"It's all smoke and fire. They're keeping us within the walls. I'd rather be here where the real fighting is," said Faulkes, putting his gauntleted hands on his hips. "The prince asks you to send a hundred men to join him in retaking the castle."
"I don't have a hundred men to spare," Ransom said with a snort. "Did he ask the king for more men?"
"He did not," Faulkes said with a tired look. "For he knew the answer would be no. The king needs all he has to retake Tatton Grange."
"Just as I need all I have," Ransom said. "We don't have the funds Estian does. We can't hire mercenaries to join our ranks."
"Pity the ransom we paid was so high," Faulkes said, giving Ransom an accusatory look.
Ransom had negotiated the release of the king from his imprisonment in the Wartburg in Brugia. The amount was higher than any ransom that had previously been paid by any king. A hundred and fifty thousand livres. Some of the money had come to them as a windfall, but the rest had come directly from their coffers and put them sorely in debt.
"I don't have a hundred men to spare," Ransom said, ignoring the jab. "If the king bid me, I would find a way to do it, but I have a hard enough task as it is. We're about to make another run at the castle."
"Can I help?" Faulkes asked, gazing at the castle. "I'm in no hurry to go back. Especially knowing the answer will displease the prince."
Dawson, part of Ransom's mesnie, came up to him. "The ladders are all ready, my lord."
"Looks like I came at the right time," Faulkes said. "I'll tie up my horse and join the fight."
"As you will," Ransom said, although the man's attitude didn't impress him. If Ransom had been serving Jon-Landon, he would have returned with the news as soon as possible.
Ransom gave the order to prepare for the assault. Knights with broad shields prepared to lead the way, followed by those bearing long ladders with smaller shields perched atop. They'd be under a torrent of crossbow fire as they arranged them at the base of the wall.
On the cusp of the attack, Ransom found himself thinking of his wife, Claire, and his family in Legault. He felt a throb of longing to be with them instead of fighting the king's wars, but it was Benedict who'd allowed him to marry Claire, and he owed him everything, including his rank as Duke of Glosstyr. Loyalty bound him to do his king's bidding.
When the men were ready, Ransom gave the order to attack, and the three crews hastened out of the cover of the woods. The soldiers guarding the pickets had been alerted and quickly removed sections of the fencing so the crews could charge past them and throw the ladders up in three different places. Cries of alarm rose from the castle walls, and the defenders began to rally. Ransom watched in consternation as black shafts began to rain down on his men, clattering against shields and armor. But some found weak spots, the vulnerable gaps in the armor.
Ransom observed fitfully as his men charged toward the wall, the advance led by Dawson and others he trusted. He had deliberately resisted using trebuchets, both because he didn't want to reduce his own castle to rubble and because the king needed them at Averanche and Tatton Grange. Cries of pain and shouted curses came from Ransom's men as they jogged ahead under the onslaught.
He saw the first ladder clack against the wall as the knights began to position it. Once it was set, some began to scrabble up the length to reach the defenders atop the wall. He knew Dawson would be in the forefront, even though it was the most dangerous part of the charge. The young man was occasionally too brash for his own good, but Ransom admired his pluck and courage.
The second ladder went up and then the third. As Ransom watched, clenching his fist and tapping it against the tree trunk, he saw several Occitanians appear with long spears and hooks. One of them managed to snag the edge of a ladder and then shoved it backward, the weight it supported dragging it down. Ransom's mind went black with rage as he heard the groans from the impact. The soldiers at the pickets rose to get a better look, the anguish they felt obvious at any distance.
Ransom backed away from the tree and then whistled to get Captain Baldwin's attention.
"That was unlucky," Baldwin said, his head protected by a chain hood. "I'm going to send in another score of men to get that ladder back up."
"I'm going to lead the charge. Tell them to follow me."
"That's too risky," Baldwin said. "The king would—"
"I'm going!" Ransom barked. He lowered his visor and started to jog toward the wall. He heard Baldwin cry out for men to follow him, and a quick backward glance revealed there were more than a score coming up behind him. Ransom felt a crossbow bolt deflect off his armored arm, but it didn't even slow his pace. More shafts rained down on him, but he was too angry to care about the danger. When he reached the fallen ladder, he saw the knights pinned beneath it, twisting and groaning to free themselves from the weight. Ransom signaled to his men to grab it and help the wounded retreat.

Among the tidbits of information were the admission by David Plouffe that if Florida had not been stripped of its delegates for holding an early primary, the primary race would have been much different and the acknowledgment by Rick Davis that the choice of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate was based solely on political calculation. Unsurprising, but refreshing to hear it acknowledged by the campaign.

Anorexic debate refers to usually unsuccessful attempts by caregivers to rationally convince an anorexic child to eat. The Maudsley approach postulates that cognitive distortions arising from malnutrition, and resulting neurological dysfunction, disable a patient's ability to rationally process concepts related to weight, shape, appearance and food related issues.

Q: Images broken on server I am making a webpage and I am including these images, when I run the page off of notepadd++ everything works fine but after I upload it to the server and I try to run it, the images are broken and I am getting this message on the console : Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

A: Although I'm not entirely sure what you're saying in your comment. I suspect two things:

*

*Make sure that your image src is relative to your actual directory layout. For example if the file that contains that code is in "home", make sure that your images are in "home/images/xx.JPG"

*If you're developing on a windows computer and hosting on a unix server, make sure that the case of the directories and files are identical. Windows is not case sensitive where as unix is. If you uploaded typing.jpg and are looking for typing.JPG, it will not find it.

A: The JPG as the end of the src link needs to be lower case. for example
src="images/rockpaper.JPG"

should be
 src="images/rockpaper.jpg"

A: You need to close them with , not .

Litany and Novena to Our Lady of Victory
September 27, 2018 ~ evensong
We offer the Novena to Our Lady of Victory to be prayed from 28 September (tomorrow) to the eve of her feastday, that is, 6 October. At Lepanto, 7 October, 1571, Our Lady of the Rosary triumphed over the muslims who were determined to eradicate the Catholic faith from the world. Today, she stands ready to deliver an even more impressive victory, asking only a humble and contrite obedience to her requests at Fatima, Portugal in 1917. The same dark power that waged a bloody war against the Bride of Christ in the muslim wars against the Church is even now locked in a mortal combat with the Woman who will, in God's time, crush its hateful head.
The following Litany and its accompanying prayers, when combined with our Lady's Holy Rosary form the basis for our Novena to Our Lady of Victory.
LITANY TO OUR LADY OF VICTORY

Lamb of God, Who taketh away the sins of the world, Spare us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, Who taketh away the sins of the world, Graciously hear us, O Lord.
Lamb of God, Who taketh away the sins of the world, Have mercy on us, O Lord.
V. Pray for us, O Blessed Lady of Victory!
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
O Victorious Lady! Thou who hath ever such powerful influence with Thy Divine Son, in conquering the hardest of hearts, intercede for those for whom we pray, that their hearts being softened by the rays of Divine Grace, they may return to the unity of the true Faith, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
V. Vouchsafe that I may praise thee, O Sacred Virgin! Give me strength against thine enemies!
R. Rejoice O Virgin Mary, for thou alone hast destroyed all heresies in all the world!
Remember, it has been given to Our Lady of the Rosary to crush the head of Satan, conquer the enemies of the Church and destroy all heresies!
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who, fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thine intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate! despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
The Rosary is an essential part of this Novena of course, since the Rosary is the means chosen by Our Lady of Victory to defeat all heresies and restore the faith.
At Fatima, in response to Lúcia's question, "Who are you?" Our Lady replied, "I am Our Lady of the Rosary."
Sister Lucia explains:
"The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Holy Rosary. She has given this efficacy to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all, spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, of the families of the world, or of the religious communities, or even of the life of peoples and nations that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary."
Frère Michel tells us that Sister Lucia often stressed that in every one of her six apparitions, Our Lady made sure to repeat the request, always in the same terms, with the same insistence: "Recite the Rosary every day!"
"This shows how much this beautiful prayer, so traditional in the Church, is supremely pleasing to Her motherly heart. Far from being a completely secondary and optional devotion, the Virgin of Fatima came to reveal to us that the Rosary is the most ordinary condition to infallibly obtain all the graces that we ask of Her.
"Yes, She is the Mediatrix of all graces, by the good pleasure of Her Son. But this outpouring of favors which She holds in Her Heart, She can only release on each of our souls, our families, our countries and the world, in response to the humble and suppliant imploring of innumerable Rosaries. If, just as at Lourdes, She willed to appear at the Cova da Iria holding in Her hand this blessed instrument, guide of our prayers, it was to show us that it is the surest means, because it is the easiest and the humblest, of winning Her Heart and obtaining Her graces.
Frère Michel quotes Sister Lúcia:
"The Rosary is, for the great part of souls who are living in the world, as it were their daily spiritual bread. To deprive them of it, inciting them to neglect or ignore this prayer, is to snatch from their mouth the bread of grace."
And so, take heart – The battle is far from over – Our Blessed Mother is always victorious!
Rejoice, O Virgin Mary for thou alone hast destroyed all heresies in all the world.
"Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in array?"
† Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of our hearts, Mother of the Church, do thou offer to the Eternal Father the Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, for the conversion of poor sinners, especially our Pontiff.
† Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy kingdom come! Viva Cristo Rey!
† St. Joseph, protect us, protect our families, protect our priests.
† St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.

The Video Game Almanac > Mini Reviews > Loco Roco – Mini Review!
Loco Roco is a cutesy platformer game, first released on the PSP, but has since been remastered on the PS4. You play as a giant blob, who can split into smaller blobs and merge back in order to solve puzzles.
Plenty of strongly designed levels.
Some areas are extremely tricky and frustrating.
Different blobs don't really have any difference.
Loco Roco was one of the first PSP games I ever played, and it is certainly one of the cutest games out there. Obviously, games shouldn't just be judged on their cuteness, so it's just as well that Loco Roco has some of the best platforming available on the PSP as well. A top game, and if you can get it, do so!

Wyman's of Maine wild blueberries featured in video series
Wyman's of Maine and Allen's Blueberry freezer recently were featured in a video series produced by the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI).
The wild blueberries are grown almost exclusively to be individually quick frozen and sold to manufacturers or packaged and sent directly to the grocery store. This video takes a closer look at the multi-generational family-owned companies.
AFFI's new video series, "Meet Your Frozen Food Maker," is available for viewing now on the Institute's newly re-launched website at www.affi.org.

New Komeito failing to make mark
New Komeito, a junior member of the ruling coalition, continues to struggle as it strives to score points and impress the public before Upper House elections next summer.
On Thursday, New Komeito's proposal to grant local suffrage to permanent foreign residents — the party's major selling point in the current Diet session — met a barrage of criticism at a Liberal Democratic Party panel meeting. The panel chairman later told reporters that a vote on the suffrage bill is unlikely before next year, reversing the LDP's initial stance.
"There is no way we can accept that," a tired-looking Tetsuzo Fuyushiba, New Komeito's secretary general, said in the Diet building. "I'm sure deliberations (on the bill) will begin soon, anyway."
Earlier in the day, a New Komeito proposal to abolish within five years all semigovernmental corporations with special status — which have provided lucrative positions for retired high-ranking bureaucrats — was also dismissed by senior LDP members who wanted to avoid "radical changes."
Since New Komeito joined the LDP-led ruling coalition one year ago, the popularity of the Buddhist-backed party, which purportedly favors clean politics and human rights issues, has been declining.
The party has bowed to the LDP and forgone its original policies in many areas. Even its major achievement — appropriating 400 billion yen in the fiscal 2000 budget to provide extra benefits to parents with small children — has been criticized by many as pork-barrel politics.
Even senior LDP members, such as Koichi Kato, have suggested that New Komeito should leave the current ruling bloc and compete in the Upper House election on its own.

This was what was given to me as a title for an article exploring, I suppose, a question or even a dilemma over the personal profit from and the impersonal aspect of practicing Ayurveda as our service (seva).
Of course, I immediately went to Charaka and his Code of Ethics for the impersonal answer and more on that in a minute.
But when it came to the personal, I was understandably reminded of my own beginnings. My teacher was very gracious to me and I studied for pennies. Thus when I hung up my own shingle, I proudly wanted to do the same and welcomed the penniless with free consults and advice. It was for naught 99% of the time. And it left me impoverished financially as well as in despair. No one took my advice seriously.
So there is the question of the ethics of the client to consider too. In this case, their relationship with dharma. Now, dharma is an interesting word, loaded with meanings, including, in this case, the duty of a client towards their own wellbeing.
While I had very little success with the free consults, my paying clients were doing rather well.
Was the value of dharma being distorted by our societal neurotic relationship with money? Were we so driven by money as the only form of respectable exchange of energy, that given a free consult meant it had no value?
I know that in India, where I came from, it would have been quite the opposite. This gift I was able to give would have put such a burden on the patient that they would do everything in their power to heal so that my faith in them was validated.
Now let us digress to Charaka and the ancient codes of Ayurvedic Ethics.
Charaka Samhita along with Sushruta Samhita and other Ayurvedic texts do talk quite a bit about this but the one phrase that really hit home for me was this: 'those who trade their medical skills for personal livelihood can be considered as collecting a pile of dust, leaving aside the heap of real gold'.
Somewhere between this personal and the larger picture lies the ability to both make a profitable livelihood out of your work and a successful practice in helping others heal their life experiences. If our motivation is primarily one of fostering better wellbeing for others, then as per the yogic theory of karma, you will indeed reap personal wealth.
It is just that we are often in too much of a hurry to see the results. I struggled for years in a very successful (for the clients) practice but I trained myself to let that be my reward. It was never that I suffered for money; it is more that I made do with what I got. And every morning I offered thanks that my practice put a roof over my head and food on my plate. Over the years the money increased and today I marvel that I still choose to live under the same roof and eat the same food.
So, what do Charaka and company have to say about these ethical questions?
Well, Charaka for one can be rather lofty in goal setting for an Ayurvedic physician/practitioner: 'she who regards kindness to humanity as her supreme religion and treats her patients accordingly, succeeds best in achieving her aims of life and obtains the greatest pleasures'.
Sushruta does no less. An Ayurvedic physician must be one of whom it can be said… 'the patient may doubt his relatives, his sons and even his parents but he has full faith in the physician. He [the patient] gives himself up in the doctor's hand and has no misgivings about her. Therefore, it is the physician's duty to look after him as her own son'.
So after I learned to start charging even those who came to me begging impoverishment, I found my middle ground. I made it a rule that no matter what, they had to raise the money for their initial consult. That they would follow through on their wellness plans and if they found value in it, I would then work with them on a sliding scale. I have had to use this sliding scale less and less as somehow once they find value in our work together, they find also that abundance is coming their way once more and they rarely need to use the sliding scale. Which quite often, I continue to give to them anyway.
Lest we forget that healing is a universal language and doctors/healers of all nations and teachings have often used ethical codes as their guides over the desire for financial gain, Sir William Osler, a founding father of John Hopkins and an eternal prankster, told that "the physician must be friend, philosopher, well-wisher and guide of the patient and the family under his care".
To put things even more in perspective, we have come very far from the manner in which the ancient physician made a living. We have heard it told that the physician of then would not even charge the patient! If the patient got better, then out of gratitude he would make a donation, not always large and not always small either!
In fact there was a set commission for what a vaidya could charge as per the medicine he made and many Ayurvedic physicians in India still follow this. Later as the making of medicines moved out to medicine shops, he made his commission off of what they charged his patient and no more.
Finding the balance between making a profitable livelihood and following our dharma can be very simple. Follow the Ayurvedic principles for yourself. It is not how you profit monetarily but the abundant satisfaction you get when your client regains some wellbeing that should be your reward. In time, with patience, the karma of this reward will spill into your own financial wellbeing.
Fascinating article. Thank you so much for this. I have also found that when there isn't a value that claims some relational "stake" in a patients life, then the process, plan and recommendations co-created are not valued as such. There has to be investment, and it would seem that often monetary investment results in emotional investment. It's very intriguing that the creation and dispensing of medicine was directly linked to the compensation of the physician and our modern day development of necessary pharmaceutical regulations as it relates to Western prescribing and gifting to prescribers!
For the first time in reading through many blogs on Ayurveda, I have come across such a beautiful adaptation, one which works in spirit, of ancient principles to modern times. Thank you.
Ever since I started out on this journey as an Ayurvedic practitioner, I have been trying to find a fine balance for this exact dilemmas. Thank you for this write up from your heart and sharing your experiences.


The Victorian Writers Centre has changed its name to Writers Victoria. How and why did this change come about? Is it just a name change or is the organisation having a full makeover?
Moving to the Wheeler Centre in late 2009 was highly anticipated, to say the least; it was going to answer all our questions, cure all our ills and open the gates to Valhalla. Perhaps we got a little too excited. As it happened, we got a little lost and were overshadowed by the new guys on the block. Many of our traditional 'in conversation' events and panel sessions lost out to Wheeler Centre events. We battled to increase our profile and the similarity of the two organisations' names caused confusion. It led us to much more carefully focus what we did and who we did it for. This year, we made sure all our activities and courses had writers at their centre. It worked. Our courses this year were better attended than ever before and we added lots more along the way, due to huge demand. Changing the name was a great way to reflect what was more a re-focus than a full makeover.
I see that Writers Vic has some great courses in 2012. What are your top picks?
As always, the 'Year Of's are a key part of what we do in the course program. Spending a year with a great teacher, whilst working on your project is a great experience. Checking in with your comrades every month or two creates a focussed and supportive community. Many of our Year Of classes stick together for years after the course has officially finished. We now have extended versions with PD Martin (Novel) and Maria Tumarkin (Non-Fiction).
The 'Tuesday Tutorials' are a new element and I'm excited by these. They will be quite specialised, alternating between fiction and non-fiction, giving writers a chance to do a one-off tune up of a particular area of their writing, such as setting, character, dialogue etc, or to embark on a complete series.
'Ask the Publisher' is a series of five sessions where we have publishers from different genres form panels to talk about what they are looking for. This is essential stuff for writers to know.
I'm so sick of bad writers' photos! We thought we'd raise the bar and embrace our 2012 theme of 'The Writer's Journey'. I think we might have got somewhere. We certainly look like we're going somewhere – but where?! … and when?!!
What's your favourite thing about being the director of Writers Victoria?
We have a very busy Manuscript Assessment Program. Every now and then we get a MS that leaps up out of the pack. I've just finished reading one and am starting another and I'm sure both are going to do really well. There's nothing like seeing a writer get some recognition for all their hard work and kick a goal or two. That's why we set off on this journey of ours, after all.
Thanks Roderick, best wishes for 2012.

Tehuacán es un sitio arqueológico de la época precolombina, está ubicado en los municipios de San Vicente y Tecoluca en el departamento de San Vicente de la república de El Salvador. El sitio arqueológico fue explorado en abril de 1892 por Darío González.

Fue habitado aproximadamente desde el siglo VII, las evidencias arqueológicas muestran que Tehuacán tuvo intercambio comercial con Quelepa. Su época de auge lo alcanzó al mismo tiempo que Cihuatán entre 900 a 1200. Para el periodo posclásico se había convertido en una ciudad náhua y sede de uno de sus cacicazgos. Después de la caída de Cihuatán, la ciudad entró en decadencia hasta que fue deshabitada alrededor del 1400.

Estructuras de Tehuacán

El sitio arqueológico de Tehuacán está situado en las faldas del Volcán de San Vicente. Y abarca un área de unos 3 km², dentro de los cuales el centro ceremonial abarca un área de alrededor de 1 y 1/2 km².

El centro ceremonial de Tehuacán tiene forma rectangular y está conformado por plataformas rectangulares y escalonados más largos de norte a sur, en el centro de estas plataformas se encuentran varias áreas rectangulares que son las bases de estructuras precolombinas. Estas plataformas están separadas por unas 10 o 12 murallas bajas de piedra y tierra que se unen en sus extremos y cuentan con entradas empedradadas. Al sur está ubicado la pirámide principal, la cual mide 65 m de ancho, 40 m de largo y unos 20 m de altura.

It is an honor and a privilege to share with you this morning some thoughts on what I consider to be among the most beautiful versus in the entire Bible. I would like first of all, to honor the advice given in the first reading by St. Peter, I am ready to give you an explanation for our hope but with gentleness.
Our hope, you see, is in Jesus the Christ. We are, if you will, inundated with the presence of Christ. He is among us and in us. He is as Julian of Norwich tells us closer to us than we are to our very selves. This is done through the presence of the Holy Spirit who is the spirit of Jesus and we know him because he remains with us and is in us.
I will ask the father and he will give you another advocate to be with you always. The spirit of truth." When Jesus rose from the dead and returned to his father, as symbolized by the Ascension ,he returned again to us in the presence of the Holy Spirit as symbolized by the tongues of fire and the sound of a mighty wind at Pentecost. It would be childish and naïve of us to assume that this presence and experience of the risen Jesus through his Holy Spirit was something that occurred only to the apostles or only to the early church or only through the sounds of wind and the heat and brightness of fire.
Let's admit it and rejoice and be glad because we are here that we might have life and have it in abundance. We do speak with great truth and reverence of the real presence of Christ in the consecrated bread and wine but let us also realize with great truth and reverence the presence of the real Christ in the people next to you, in front of you, behind you and beside you. The presence of the real Christ in the bread and wine is given to us for the sake of his presence in one another, to express that presence, to honor that presence and to nourish that presence.
Remember that Jesus said he would ask the father to give us the Holy Spirit if we loved him and kept his commandments. We can love Jesus and keep his commandments only by loving others. There are no other commandments, or at the very least all of the Commandments are subject to these, love God, love yourself, and love one another.
So this is why we are here. To share in his joy, to, if you will, wash one another's feet, support and comfort one another: to provide companionship for the lonely, health care for the sick, food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, justice for the disenfranchised, and security for the refugee.
We are here this morning to affirm the presence of Christ in our world, our community, our family and ourselves when we leave here. If Christ is to be present in our world, we must bring him there or rather we must by our actions acknowledge his presence . only in this way will all know that we are his disciples, that we have love for one another. This is the way in which the risen Christ will be present in our midst and in which we shall move forward each one of us into the fullness of Christ.


You may own a business, but just because you've hung out your shingle doesn't mean you've established any business credit.
It takes time — and some smart moves — to build a strong business credit score, which is similar to your personal credit score in that it allows potential creditors to judge what kind of a credit risk your business poses.
For established firms, a higher business credit score could mean you'll have better access to loans and lines of credit, lower interest rates and cheaper insurance premiums. Since your business credit report is public (available for a fee), your potential clients or suppliers may use it when making a decision whether to do business with you.
When you're just starting out and you apply for a small business credit card, you'll have to rely on your personal credit for approval, which may be impacted when the issuer pulls your credit report. But once that line of credit is open, it remains separate from your personal credit, meaning it won't impact your personal utilization score, an especially important factor if your business runs up big monthly credit card bills. Remember, though, the issuer still can come after you personally if you default on your business card.
Let's look at the five steps you should take to build your business credit.
After you've established your business you should next incorporate or form an LLC, or limited liability company, the credit bureau Experian says. Much like with personal credit scores, Experian is one of the credit bureaus for business credit, along with Equifax and Dun & Bradstreet, which is the big dog of business credit bureaus.
Next, you should obtain a federal Employer Identification Number. It's a nine-digit number the Internal Revenue Service uses to identify businesses for tax purposes. Think of it as a Social Security Number for your company.
Then, sign up with Dun & Bradstreet to get your D-U-N-S Number, which is short for Data Universal Numbering System. It establishes your company's D&B credit file and also serves as a business identifier. You can get your nine-digit D-U-N-S Number for free.
Finally, open business checking and savings accounts and set up a dedicated phone line in your legal business name. Make sure that phone line is listed, too, Experian advises.
There are many good reasons for an entrepreneur to get a business credit card (we recently counted five.), but one primary reason is to begin building your business credit file. Most issuers will report both positive and negative information on your payments and credit usage to the business credit bureaus.
That's not true for all business creditors, so be careful about who you take out loans or lines of credit from in the early going if you want it to help establish business credit. Equifax, for example, says it requires financial services companies with at least 500 customers to report to them on a monthly basis. You may want to ask any supplier that extends you credit if they report to the bureaus, as Experian says of the more than 500,000 suppliers extending credit, only about 10,000 report.
You're going to want a business credit card that fits your company's spending needs. If travel is a big part of your business budget, applying for a business travel rewards card — like The Business Platinum® Card from American Express — should be on your to-do list. If you spend more on office supplies or advertising services, there may be another choice that's better suited to your company, such as the Ink Business Cash Credit Card. No matter your business' spending, there's a perfect credit card for every type of bonus rewards category.
This sample credit report from Dun & Bradstreet shows a company's loan risk assessment.
The federal government requires the credit bureaus to furnish your personal credit report to you free of charge once a year. That's not the case with business credit reports. Be prepared to pay a fee. You'll want to check your business credit reports for the same reasons you check your personal credit reports: To find and fix errors, to look for evidence of fraud and to keep an eye on what might be dragging down your business credit score.
Business credit reports show similar types of information as a personal credit report with regard to a business' debt repayment, but they also show public records like bankruptcies and tax liens.
Each bureau will use this data to help generate a business credit score, which generally ranges from zero to 100. That's different than personal FICO scores, which range from 300 to 850.
The closer your business' credit score is to 100, the better. A score near 75 is ideal. Experian says the average business credit score is 62.
You can check your business credit report as often as you'd like (or have the budget to pay for). Checking your business credit report does not affect your business credit score, as pulling your own business credit report is considered a soft inquiry.
To view your business' credit score or report, you'll typically have to pay a fee or order a subscription offered by one of the bureaus. Experian offers a credit report starting at $39.95, while Dun & Bradstreet offers unlimited access to your business credit report and score starting at $149 per month. It also offers a free service called CreditSignal, which gives you alerts when your scores or reports change, but doesn't give you access to the full reports themselves. Credit monitoring services like Nav will give you free access to a summary of your credit report, although you'll still have to pay to see your full report.
Your business credit score isn't static, and the credit bureaus advise that they can fluctuate for reasons not associated with your on-time payments. Your score may fall, Equifax says, if there are negative changes to the factors that go into the score, such as a lien filing.
It may also fall if you close any of your business cards, just as might happen to your personal credit score if you close a personal credit card.
Just as with your personal credit score, you can improve your business score by decreasing your credit utilization — pay off balances, open new lines of credit or ask for a larger credit line — and, of course, continuing to pay your bills on time, if not sooner.
In the case of Dun & Bradstreet's PAYDEX score — that's its version of a business credit score — a 100 means you've consistently paid your creditors 30 days before the bill comes due. An 80 means you've paid on time.
You can also improve your score by getting unlisted suppliers or financial vendors added to your credit report. Experian's Business Credit Advantage subscribers can ask the bureau to contact non-reporting suppliers and ask them to report your on-time payments.
You may not know the precise formula that determines your business' credit score, but you have enough information about what helps and hurts to establish or change your behavior for the better. The bottom line, though, is that if you always pay your bills in full and on time and you don't have any major financial black marks — like a bankruptcy — your business credit should look just fine to both creditors and suppliers alike.

Recently, poet and scholar Seth Abramson released a list on The Huffington Post called "The Top 200 Advocates for American Poetry." The list included writers, teachers, publishers, founders of listservs and writing centers, and celebrity Friends of Poetry like Bill Murray and Patti Smith. Abramson didn't define what he meant by advocacy, but I imagine he meant things like word-spreading, cheerleading, and trying to make poetry reach a wider audience—which most of us agree that poetry needs.
On the same day that Abramson published his list, I was participating in orientation activities at the school where I'll be teaching this fall, Warren Wilson College in Asheville, NC. As I've heard a dozen times over the course of orientation, WWC is the only school in the country with an integrated work/service/learning program. In other words, students here spend 15 hours a week on a work crew. They are the college's janitors, cooks, constructions workers, landscapers, foresters. On top of the work crew—and, of course, their studies—students have many, many hours of required service volunteering in the community, taking service classes, and attending issues workshops. (The other day my son tumbled through an intricate Asheville playground built in five days by WWC students).
Naturally, the culture of service here has gotten me thinking about the connections between poetry and volunteerism. In addition to teaching my usual poetry curriculum this fall, with lessons in things like surprise, voice, structure, and image, I want to show my students how to take the step from being a poetry advocate and promoting work they love, to serving the community using poetry as a tool. To me the difference between advocacy and service may be like the difference between being a pastor and being a missionary, only without the fraught associations of either.
I look forward to introducing my students to the work of Tara Libert and Kelli Taylor, the co-founders of Free Minds Book Club and Writing Workshop, a DC organization that uses poetry to help teenage inmates write about their lives and their experiences. We'll talk about the local organization Asheville Writers in the Schools, one of a multitude of programs across the country that works in educational settings with youth writers. We'll also talk about the Line Assembly Poets, six young writers who took a van across the country this summer, facilitating community workshops in libraries, at festivals, and in bookstores.
These three examples—out of hundreds—show that poetry is elastic enough to be used as a therapeutic tool, as an expression of imagination and empowerment, and as a source of entertainment and intellectual stimulation. I'll be encouraging students to discover their own aesthetics in the classroom, while also showing them that, despite their own approaches and methods, poetry contains multitudes. It can't be contained to just the classroom, and the more possibilities that writers—be they inmates, schoolchildren, plumbers, or professors—are given, the more capacious poetry will become.

The movement to attain collaborative management authority is supported by many national pharmacy organizations. In 1996, the ASHP developed a position statement, "CDTM and Reimbursement for Pharmaceutical Care," and in 1998 produced an issue paper, "CDTM." The AACP, in addition to issuing a position statement on CDTM,[7] has conducted numerous CDTM educational sessions at their national meetings. In September 1997, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores developed the "Collaborative Practice Briefing Book," and in February 1998 the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) published statements on CDTM agreements and payment for pharmacists' professional services. The American Pharmaceutical Association (APhA) is conducting the previously mentioned project ImPACT.[29] ASHP has an attorney with state advocacy experience who assists states on legislative issues and has compiled a CDTM advocacy packet.
Twenty-five states currently have authorized CDTM, and 20 states are pursuing legislative or regulatory changes to permit it (Table 1). This reflects the currency of the legislative efforts, because before 1993 only seven states recognized pharmacists' abilities to provide collaborative care.
Twenty-two states have statutes authorizing some form of CDTM. Most states have passed bills that enable the state's board of pharmacy to write regulations. Kansas and Michigan have interpretations of their Physician Practice Acts that permit delegation to pharmacists. Three states, however, provide collaborative management ability only through regulations.
Although the ASHP and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) have developed model CDTM language for state pharmacy acts (Table 2), there is no standard format for the legislative acts passed by individual states or for their pharmacy practice act interpretation. As a bill passes through the state legislative bodies, it is subject to significant debate and compromise. The passed bill may look very different from the original proposal. As a result, collaborative management agreements vary significantly from state to state on the following points:
Types of agreements. There may be requirements for protocols, agreements, or guidelines.
Level of review or approval. Some states require variations of pharmacist, protocol, and perhaps even patient registration with the state boards of pharmacy or medicine, whereas other states require just facility review or simply an agreement between the individual pharmacist and physician.
Type of medications. Many states do not allow pharmacists to prescribe narcotics, but three states permit pharmacists to register with the Drug Enforcement Agency as midlevel providers.
Practice environments. States are more likely to start with institutional settings (because of built-in oversight) and then make a transition to ambulatory settings once inpatient credibility is established.
Education or competency. They may be specified in the agreement but are often left to be determined between physician and pharmacist.

New GOP chair sees strong candidates vying for Roberts' seat
February 22, 2019 7:59AM CST
Even though Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on NBC's Today show Thursday that he is not running for Pat Roberts U.S. Senate seat in 2020, that doesn't mean the party won't have a good candidate.
"There are a lot of highly qualified folks that are looking at a run for that U.S. Senate seat," said Kansas GOP chair Mike Kuckelman. "I'm pleased that they are. There's a lot of excitement about filling that seat. Senator Roberts has done a fantastic job. Those are big shoes to fill, but we have to find the right candidate that the voters will want to replace Senator Roberts when he retires."
Given the number of hopefuls, its a virtual certainty that the party will have a primary for the nomination.
"I think that field will narrow down over time," said Kuckelman. "That will be natural, as people start weighing in. I think we'll get the field narrowed down to hopefully, a couple of candidates that will go through the primary and we'll get the best candidate to come out the top."
Kuckelman is also looking ahead to trying to get the 3rd District Congressional seat back for the party in 2020. He's also already looking ahead to the 2022 Governor's race as another area of focus in the early days of his chairmanship.
