Beautiful truths dwell deep at the roots of Christ as the True Vine, as described in the 15th chapter of John.
The relationship between the branch, the fruit, and the vine will show us the importance of this comparison between branches. We see that all the resources the branch uses to produce the fruit come from the vine. We see this in our own lives; everything produced in the believer's life that is pleasing to the Husbandman has come from spending time with Jesus. Through the process of abiding, heavenly resources flow from Christ, through us, and into a form pleasing to God.
By spending time with our Savior, having a relationship with the Person that He is, we are able to live His life, having crucified our own (Gal. 2:20). We cannot produce fruit by ourselves, and without Christ we can do nothing to please God. Christ is the Christian life. There is nothing more to the Christian life than Christ; there cannot be anything more.
The gospel encompasses all the blessings we receive in Christ. This includes our post-conversion lifestyle and the eternal state of our souls. In no way are our works tied to our receiving justification, but our works are a direct result of our justification (Eph. 2:8-10). We do not know what is in man; we simply see the fruit. The Spirit of God knows what is within.
What is the end of this dramatic and daring picture that the Lord reveals to us? It is fruit. Spiritual fruit, seen here as the love and joy of God Himself, available to us as an outpouring of Jesus in our lives! Jesus Christ is the one we must know and in whom we must abide. Jesus Christ is the channel of all God's resources, the resources themselves, and the secret of the resulting fruit. Jesus is the Christian life, and without Him we can do nothing.

HOMECOMING, LIFE+STYLE
Anok Yai: Where is She Now?
By: Sasha Charlemagne, Staff Reporter
Howard homecoming is iconic and has been for decades. In the 80's and 90's Howard's homecoming was the place to be if you were an artist who wanted to push their music out into the world. From Biggie to Drake, we have had some of the most amazing stars pop up on Howard's campus at various points in their careers.
Anok Yai, 19 years old at the time, was photographed at last year's YardFest and quickly rose to stardom after her picture went viral on social media. Within just four months she became the second Black woman in history to open a fashion show for Prada. Appearing in Nike, Estee Lauder and Givenchy campaigns, Anok is quickly taking the fashion industry by storm.
Jordan Mullings, a sophomore TV and Film major and one of Howard's own HU Elite Models responded to Yai's quick succession saying, "Knowing she went viral gave me hope. Being of a darker complexion as well, it gave me a sense of comfort and helped me realize that, as a model, your chance can come at any point. If it's for you, it's for you."
"It's cool how Howard can really put you on to things and how just being here can take you places. It's really dope that just her coming to have a good time led to her success," said Autumn McDougle, a sophomore Psychology major and member of Models of the Mecca.
"Since being found at Howard everything has been a whirlwind," said Yai to The Hilltop, "I basically live in hotels. I'm on a plane every week and working with top designers on a regular basis."
Just how quick all of this change occurred is the wildest part of Anok's story. Being the first Black model to open Prada in twenty years since Naomi Campbell in 1997 is a considerable accomplishment for a relatively new model. Anok's success is one of the many stories that should.

The National Laboratory Association (NLA) is pleased to announce that the 2015 Test and Measurement Conference will be held at the Lord Charles Hotel in Somerset West, Cape Town from 12-14 October.
The conference has never been to Cape Town before and after the 2014 road show, which had a great response from members around the country, the NLA decided to take the conference to Cape Town this year.
"Since the theme of this year's conference is 'Quality of Life: What is the measure if it', what an appropriate city to host our conference in", commented Steve Sidney, Director at NLA.
Sidney also said that they are arranging travel packages for their members and are starting their Marketing campaign earlier this year, in order for interested parties to allocate time and budgets accordingly.
More information is available on the NLA web site or applicants can contact the NLA directly.

Cowen 'didn't mention IMF' at talks
Originally Published / Wednesday, 14 Jan 2009
Brian Cowen - Responded to union leader's comments
A Government spokesman has said the Taoiseach made no mention of the International Monetary Fund at recent briefings with the social partners.
In a statement, the spokesman said that in those briefings - in which the IMF was not mentioned - Mr Cowen set out what the budgetary position would be if no corrective action were taken.
He said Mr Cowen - who is on an official visit to Japan - never referred to the IMF in his comments to journalists, but responded to questions about references to the IMF made by the general secretary of the Public Services' Executive Union, Dan Murphy.
Mr Murphy made references to the IMF in a warning to union members reported in the Irish Times yesterday.
Earlier, RTÉ incorrectly reported that Mr Cowen had confirmed that the IMF could be called in if the economy continued to worsen. The error occurred in Dublin, not in Tokyo.
Speaking on RTÉ radio, Mr Murphy also said the Government made no mention of the IMF at briefings with unions. But he said he had concluded himself that the IMF could be called in under certain circumstances.
2009 deficit will be bigger - Lenihan


I watched a weird short a few years ago (around 2000) where there was someone climbing up this infinitely long, never-ending staircase. As he/she kept going up the stairs we could see different people and objects passing by, representing major events in world history, from ancient Greeks to Lenin to Einstein to Hitler, etc. Something like a moving timeline.
Credit: Many thanks to babe for the answer!
If I remember rightly it was a music video to Bolero (sp?). The camera never cut away and the stairs just kept going. I've always wondered how they did that. The same people also did one with the camera going through a garden party that never ended, just kept turning corners to find yet another garden. I saw it on a late night show called "Arts and (something) which showed sometimes bizarre little films. I looked up the company on the internet but have since lost the address. to this day I haven't figured out how they filmed that never ending staircase - CGI ?
When you find out, let me know. It sounds like something I would watch.

If you ever see the video again you'll see the company name in the bottom of the screen. The company has a web site where they sell some of their flicks. I used to have them book marked until my computer crashed. If I ever do find it I'll let you know.

Explore bodiless lacquerware painting techniques in Fuzhou
Photo: www.xinhuanet.com
CHINA, 11 November (BelTA - Xinhua). - Fuzhou's bodiless lacquerware painting techniques have a history of more than 200 years and enjoy a similar reputation with other specialized painting techniques, including Jingtailan, a special cloisonne wrought with copper and porcelain found in Beijing and the porcelain-making techniques of Jingdezhen city found in east China's Jiangxi province. In 2006, Fuzhou's bodiless lacquerware painting techniques entered the list for the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage.
Recently, Fujian province, which administers Fuzhou, passed regulations on the protection of Fuzhou's bodiless lacquerware painting techniques. Zhu Bing, who took part in the compilation of the regulations and is also one of the inheritors of the specialized painting techniques, expressed that the regulations were of great significance in boosting the development of the techniques.
The bodiless lacquerware painting techniques, as the name suggests, involve a process for producing an original body with clay and plaster, drying the original body by covering it with a cloth layer by layer, and discarding the original body to leave a finished product in the form of a shaped lacquered cloth. Afterwards, a gray background is added to the shaped lacquered cloth, then polished, repainted with lacquer and abraded, with various decorative patterns finally embellishing the exterior surface. "It takes a long time to finish a piece of bodiless lacquerware, and longer, for example two to three years, when it comes to making a Buddha statue," Zhu introduced.
The shape of the lacquered cloth has an important effect on the final product, with the decorative patterns also being a determining factor for the end result. Most lacquerwares have a brown, black or red background, while Fuzhou's bodiless lacquerwares are painted with brightly-colored paints, with craftsmen also using gold powder as a blending element to make the wares even more colorful and elegant.
According to historical records, the bodiless lacquerware painting techniques in Fuzhou originate from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). But due to various reasons, some of the techniques are now on the verge of extinction. According to Zhu, he has been able to protect and inherit the bodiless lacquerware painting techniques by learning skills from senior craftsmen and enriching his knowledge of the content in old documents that record the processes involved in performing the techniques.
To carry forward the techniques, the Fujian provincial and municipal culture and tourism departments have established booths for bodiless lacquerware craftsmen to use for free to display the products during various culture expos held across the country. In addition, by opening bodiless lacquerware courses, a number of vocational schools in Fuzhou have cultivated talents to carry forward the technique.

Amtrak train derails in Washington state; no…
Amtrak train derails in Washington state; no injuries
By Donna Gordon Blankinship |
PUBLISHED: April 7, 2013 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 24, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
SEATTLE (AP) — Mud, trees and rocks hit an Amtrak passenger train traveling through Washington state Sunday morning, causing several cars to derail, according to a railway spokesman.
There were no injuries reported in the mudslide that knocked off the dining car and two coach cars, the last three railcars on the train, said Gus Melonas, a spokesman for Burlington Northern Santa Fe, which owns the tracks.
The train was travelling south from Everett on the way to Seattle when the slide hit around 8:30 a.m., Melonas said. The train, known as the Empire Builder, started Friday in Chicago.
None of the 86 passengers or 11 crew members on board were injured, Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari confirmed.
The derailed cars were disconnected, and the passengers were taken to Mukilteo, Wash., where they were transferred to a bus bound for Seattle, according to BNSF and Amtrak.
The cause of the slide is under investigation by Amtrak and BNSF officials.
It was not immediately clear how long Amtrak passenger service would be affected, Magliari said.
Washington state has been plagued by mudslides this winter and spring, repeatedly closing tracks that carry Amtrak trains, plus freight and commuter lines.
The tracks where the Empire Builder was damaged were closed as recently as March 21, due to mudslides.
A freight train derailed on the same stretch of tracks in October.
"This has been one of the most problematic years we"ve faced, historically," Melonas said. "It"s due to day after day after day of successive rainfall."
BNSF is working on solutions to stop mudslides in the area, Melonas said.
Sunday"s slide fell about 100 feet down a slope and covered the tracks in debris about 30-feet-long and 15-feet-deep.

Henry Charles Norcom Jr., son of the late Henry Charles Norcom, Sr., and Carmel Braden Norcom, of Clifton, Virginia, was born on September 21, 1961, in Washington, D.C. He died on October 20, 2018, at the age of fifty-seven, doing what he enjoyed most—helping the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, VA Chapter 27-2. Henry was the fifth of six children, and was predeceased by his brother, Charles ("Chuck") Edward Norcom of Clifton, Virginia.
Henry's childhood centered around his love of baseball and teaching himself celestial navigation. As he grew older, he developed a passion for jazz, playing the saxophone in Chantilly Jazz and listening to jazz greats. He also enjoyed building model airplanes and tanks and creating "military maneuvers" in his bedroom closet.
Following in his father's footsteps, Henry pursued a career in the military. Upon graduating from Hampton University in 1983, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, and excelled in training cadets. He served in the U.S. invasion of Panama and the Iraq War, earning distinguished honors, including the Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, and the Armed Forces Reserve Medal and Mobilization. Eventually, Henry left the military to study law, earning a Juris Doctor in 1998 at The Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law, and became an Attorney-Advisor for the U.S. State Department.
As a reservist, Henry left for a tour of duty in Iraq in 2002, while his beloved wife, Sandra Bishop ("Sandy"), maintained a loving household and cared for their one-year-old son, Oliver Henry, and one-week old daughter, Madison Cambrie. He returned to civilian life, eventually moving into the position of Director of the Office of Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service in Washington, D.C.
Henry's high energy level as a child earned him placement in the "Henry seat" in the family station wagon on more than one occasion, and this energy never waned, even as an adult. He moved fluidly between the responsibilities of raising his children and working, while pursuing his passions, which included remodeling his home, cooking, watching HGTV, studying architecture, riding his Harley, and being a news junkie. He had a thirst for learning, teaching himself whatever he needed to know by watching You-Tube videos and reading books. He often was referred to as a "Renaissance Man," and through his newfound knowledge he became a designer, chef, videographer and more, never limiting himself to new opportunities in which to excel.
Henry loved his family, and poured his heart and soul into his children. In them, he saw himself, carefully adjusting their sails, helping them reach their fullest potential like many of the cadets he trained. He enjoyed mentoring people, encouraging them to think outside the box, and aim high. He had an ability to get along with everyone who crossed his path, including those who could not help themselves. Stray animals became pets, turtles crossed the road in his care, and stink bugs he'd freed continued stinking for one more day.
Henry and Sandy's chance encounter on-line in 1998 led to an enduring friendship and marriage, resulting in a total of 20 years together, ultimately residing in Chantilly, Virginia. They based their successful partnership on observations of their own parents' marriages, working together and performing routine tasks no matter how non-traditional. Their favorite activity was simply being together, laughing, caring for their children, and talking, even if it meant by text; the irony being the written word was how their relationship had begun.
Henry's consistent message to anyone who listened, particularly young people, was to travel and take as many pictures as possible; to shoot for the moon, and if you miss, land among the stars.
Survivors include his wife and two children; a brother, Malcolm B. Norcom of Atlanta, Georgia, and three sisters, Evelyn Loretta Norcom Burton of Fairfax, Virginia, Janet Vera Norcom of Arlington, Virginia, and Carmel Gloria ("C.G.") Norcom of Arlington, Virginia; a nephew, Brandon C. Burton of Arlington, Virginia, and a niece, Bianca K. and nephews, Miles B. and Grant C. Norcom of Atlanta, Georgia; a sister and brother-in law, Tamara Sue Nicoloff and Thomas G. Nicoloff, and nephews Jack T. and Ben G., and niece Audrey B. of Cincinnati, Ohio; other relatives; and a host of close friends.
Family, friends, and colleagues loved Henry. Persons he met for the first time found Henry to be engaging. He will be missed by all.
I was on the rifle team at Hampton with Henry. We had great fun and also were in the ROTC program together. He was a great person.
Henry worked as the civil rights officer at my workplace. One of his innovations was to use musical performances as a way to learn about people of different backgrounds. This was quite a revelation, because in many instances, the music sounded completely new, and it was a clear reminder that one really needs to work hard to know someone well. The decorations in Henry's office reflected his musical interests, but I suspected that he preferred to be outside his office, either to interact with others or just to avoid being penned in by four walls.
Without doubting the importance of his position at work, Henry recognized the continuing challenges of our country in the area of civil rights. One time, I called Henry because I had seen some airport security personnel treating a Muslim family of three in a fashion that I found to be unkind--removing them from the boarding line just before it was time for the plane to leave--during a period when the government was placing unusual scrutiny on visa holders from particular countries. In response to my concern, Henry reminded me of the mechanisms available for the family to lodge a protest, although he doubted that they would do so. He also underscored that the treatment that I had observed was not part of the America that he had sought to protect as a member of the armed forces.
Thank you, Henry, for your service. We will try to do right by the values you championed.
We met Henry/Rakassan through CVMA many years ago. The minute I met him, I felt his warmth and genuine personality. He was always very outgoing, friendly and had a very positive persona. Very sad that we do not have the chance to know him even better. But his obituary sums up a man who has lived a full and purposeful life. May his wife find comfort in knowing that she was married to a unique individual who gave all to life, his family and his country; and may his children continue to live the life he wanted for them.
In Memory Of Henry Charles Norcom Jr.

Objective: To determine the rate and characteristics of the occurrence of acute stroke after administration of vaccination in the United States.
Background There are several reports of stroke after vaccination.
Design/Methods: We used that data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) which is a cooperative program for vaccine safety of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS is a post-marketing safety surveillance program, collecting information about adverse events (possible side effects) that occur after the administration of United States licensed vaccines.
Results: There were 306 cases (mean age 42 years, range 0.1 to 94 years) of stroke reported after vaccination in the United States from 1990 to 2010. The onset of stroke within 6 weeks after vaccination was reported in 300 patients (98%) and in 257 patients (83.9%) within 2 weeks of vaccination. Stroke was reported in 120 cases (39.2%) after Flue vaccination, 40 (13%) after Hepatitis B vaccination, and in 20 cases (6.5%) after Diphtheria, Tetanus, and acelluar pertussis vaccination (DTAP). The number of patients who took 2 or more vaccines and developed stroke was 12 (4%).
Conclusions: The unbalanced distribution of reports of stroke in the first 6 weeks after vaccination with a peak reporting in the first two weeks after vaccination is suggestive of the possibility that some cases may be triggered by vaccination. This warrants continuous and careful analysis stroke cases after vaccination and emphasize the need for more controlled studies to assess the risk of cereborvascular events after vaccination.
Disclosure: Dr. Al Qudah has nothing to disclose. Dr. Abukwaik has nothing to disclose. Dr. Souayah has received personal compensation for activities with Walgreens as a consultant. Dr. Souayah has received research support from Talecris.

'She trusted him': Friend of Sumter mom explains relationship with suspected killer from her eyes
A Sumter mom is dead. Now, her friend is speaking out about the relationship between the mother and her accused killer.
Author: Kayland Hagwood
Published: 7:05 PM EDT August 12, 2019
SUMTER, S.C. — A friend of a Sumter mother who was found dead last week is speaking out about how she perceived the relationship to be between the mother and her accused killer.
Sharee Bradley was found dead in her apartment last week. Her daughter, Neveah Adams, is still missing, but officers say they believe she is likely dead.
Tanishia Toney said she was friends with Bradley for more than six years. It was around 2015 when she learned about Daunte Johnson -- a man her friend loved and, according to police, one who would later confess to her friend's murder.

"When she was talkin' about him she said, you know, he help her with the kids and he was there for her when she had a job. I was like, oh, okay, well as long as you trust him, that's alright with me," Toney said.
They were together for more than a year before Toney says she started to notice concerning behavior.
"He took her phone from her and he answered it. I was like, 'hello, where is Sharee?' and he was like 'oh, anything you can say to her, you can say it to me 'cause this is our phone,' she said.
The two continued in an on and off relationship for months.
"I see her being more protective of the situation, like being mindful of what she tell me," Toney said. "She told me he was verbally abusive.... I've never seen bruises, but I always know what she told me.... She trusted that he would have changed, and I've told her several times, just Google him, you know? Google him and find out what's what."
RELATED: Daunte Johnson's criminal past
Johnson has been charged with murder.
Sumter Police Chief Russell Roark told reporters last week that he believes the motive behind Bradley's death is "domestic related."
"I really feel like she loved him, she trusted him and she put her guard down and he just manipulated her," Toney said.

JOBS LIST
Sr Doris Testa: On consecrated life
Sr Doris Testa addressed an evening organised by Church Resources and CathNews to support the Year of Consecrated Life at ACU, Melbourne on May 19. This is her Reflection on religious life - and its possibilities.
I acknowledge the Elders, families and forebears of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation who were the custodians of this land for many centuries. I also acknowledge the Brigidine Sisters who have walked and struggled the path before me to leave a legacy of Gospel discipleship to call on, to embrace, and from which I draw inspiration, example and wisdom. Thank you to those who are here tonight, (you have) my constant admiration.
I have ten minutes to share some thoughts on how I, an Australian Maltese woman, born in Melbourne's western suburbs found herself in the life choice named as religious, specifically, as Brigidine religious.I will also share some thoughts on my dream for the future of religious life.
Maria Chin, Mercy sister, reminds us all that there are "men and women who yearn to respond to God's invitation to embrace mystery and discover the meeting place of the world's deep hunger and their deep impulse to care and do the transformative work of the Gospel."
I like, your good selves, am numbered among those who yearn still to respond to God's invitation and to travel the dangerous Gospel path of transformative justice. This call to mission began for me in the Brigidine Congregation 35 years ago, in 1980.
That year, 1980, there was an assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II; tJohn Lennon was assassinated; a new plague named AIDS entered the collective lexicon; 1980, Australia's first test tube baby was born; when Azaria Chamberlin went missing from Uluru; when Richmond beat Collingwood in the Grand Final. These events were both backdrop and beckoning.
As a young adult, already graduated as a teacher and teaching within the Catholic Education system, I wanted to make a difference in the world – the Gospel beckoned. My impatience for seeing right done and for believing that education was central in the work of justice informed how I would shape days into the years.
I had caught this Gospel yearning and impatience in my formative years from my parents and later I had learnt this from the Brigidine Sisters who had selflessly served the people of my suburb, parish and community of West Sunshine. It was they, these ever- cheerful and ever-available religious women who witnessed Gospel service at a time when resources were scarce, when migrant families dreamt big for their children, and when the bridge between these dreams and the realisation of these dreams was the education offered by the Brigidine Sisters.
Indeed, as a young person, the charism communicated by the Brigidine Sisters captured my imagination as well as my curiosity. Feminists before the term became fashionable, these women lived mission and ministry as Pope Francis exhorts today – cheerfully and amongst the most disadvantaged.
It was one simple act of service, by Mother Mauras, my grade three teacher, who set me, unknowingly, in the decision to join the Brigidine Sisters. I can still see and feel this act.
Mother Maurus waited each morning, at the door of our classroom, with a warm bowl of water and a towel at her elbow, greeting each of us and washing and warming our hands in readiness for the day's learning, as we walked ourselves, in our scuffed shoes and noisy chatter through the classroom door.
This simple, yet profound Gospel act of servant discipleship, still tattooed on my psyche and echoing the Brigidine Founder, Daniel Delany's, words: "Do ordinary things, extraordinarily well."
It is this simple edict that I think captures the Brigidine mission and ministry – to read into the ordinary circumstances of life and speak into them, with commitment, energy, with hope and with determination, the transformative and often simply extraordinary work of Gospel justice.
When I joined the Brigidine Congregation, the Victorian community numbered in the two hundreds and in the four hundreds worldwide. Today, Brigidines number 210 worldwide, the Victorian community numbers 83 with the average age of 73.6 years of age. It is the only group in which I can claim to be the second youngest!
As a Brigidine Sister of 35 years, I have been challenged as I have worked in education, in child protection, in Church organisations and in State organisations, always sent, in the name of Brigidine, to do the work of God's mission.
With one eye on structures that disadvantage and alienate individuals and groups of individuals, I - in the name Brigidine - use the privilege of my own education, the generosity of the Brigidine community's resources, and the opportunities that come from that privilege to speak and work in defense of those disadvantaged and alienated.
The task of the 21st century religious, is as old as Jesus' words: It is always the task of ushering in God's reign.
Throughout my years as Brigidine, I have lived and been asked to live with my Sisters into the ever-new but ever-old Brigidine call to listen to the God who always inhabits the margins and fault lines of our World and who always asks of us to shape justice in those places and with voices that mainstream society refuses to privilege:
• in suburbs of disadvantage,
• in Earth spaces that are dying by the hands of our capitalist greed
• amongst the dispossessed or imprisoned and trafficked
• amongst the newly arrived immigrants, the asylum seekers and refugees
It is in these places that religious life rolls up its sleeves and does the ordinary but extraordinary work of God's mission. Today it is right that much of the traditional Brigidine ministries of the 80s and 90s have been handed over to our disciple partners – School Boards, Stewardship Councils, Kildare Ministries, so that we, together with them, can shape new ministries and new Gospel witness.
Today, it is right that we, an aging religious group, have had to adapt to the years and redefine our mission.
Today, I see my Sisters listen to the pain of our Earth and lead, with our lay partners, an evolving Earth Spirituality.
I see my Sisters advocate for the politically demonised Asylum seekers, standing side by side with other Agencies and collectives demanding dignified justice for God's displaced people.
I listen to our Sisters who fashion new, evolving ministries for themselves and with others , as they become volunteers amongst other volunteers in welfare agencies, not as Sister, but as partner.
And what of the future, what of my future, what of the future of religious life?
Research finds that Religious Orders have a two hundred year life span. By that measure, Brigidines are an endangered species! But that's OK. Our mission is not omnipotence.
Our mission, God's mission, is to live well and leave behind a Godly world and a Gospel legacy that becomes the DNA embedded in the values adopted by those who travel with us and come after us – our partners, our neighborhood communities.
For my part, I have moved from working in a Catholic education setting into a mainstream University setting, still in an area and with students born of disadvantage.
I lecture, research and write, sent and blessed by Brigidines.
I don't mention my religious commitment because it is largely irrelevant for those with whom I work – what is relevant is that the relationships that I form, the interactions that are the weft and weal of the day, are characterized by the vows named by Mary Chin as "elegant healing choices":
Chastity – the call to break down walls that separate – race, color, religion, sexual preference, politics
Obedience – the call to realise that we share one collective heartbeat and that my life belongs to, is sustained by and is lived for others and
Poverty – the call to really understand the sacredness of Our Earth and resist destroying and controlling it
For the future, I wish a Church where religious men and women, in partnership with others, continue to advocate and agitate for a future that looks, and breathes and walks and talks inclusiveness on all levels.
I dream of a Church wherein the word 'patriarchy' and 'clericalism' is banished and women are invited to the table as right and not as privilege.
I wish a Church where religious men and women, in partnership with others, are disciples who continue to advocate and agitate from the margins of society and are happy to be there, not because it is comfortable – that will never happen, but because it is where the Gospel's transformative justice takes shape.
I want a Church where the term "consecrated life" is not only ascribed to Religious men and women, but is embraced as a term that belongs to all disciples – since all are made holy by their courageous outspokenness in the face of injustice.
I wish a Church where religious men and women, in partnership with others, continue to advocate and agitate and raise our voices to scream that it is unjust that in Australia we spend more on pet food than we do on foreign aid.
Finally, religious life in the future, even if it survives, will be as it was in the beginning, a rabble of people, restless to inhabit the mystery of God's reign of goodness.
In Thomas Moore's words we are "floating towards home, we are not an evolution toward perfection."
So let us float, you and I, empowered by each other's faith and living in each other's missionary commitment. As Daniel Delany wrote "What you are, others who come after you will be."

Warsaw walkout: Big green groups bail on U.N. climate talks
For the first time ever, environmental groups have staged a mass walkout of a U.N. climate summit.
"Polluters talk, civil society walks." CAN-International
Ben Jervey
Climate + Climate & Energy
WARSAW, Poland — For the first time ever, environmental groups have staged a mass walkout of a U.N. climate summit. Citing immense frustration with the lack of productive action in the COP19 climate talks, which have been dogged by a persistent rift between rich and poor countries on the responsibility of paying for climate damages, hundreds of people from dozens of environmental groups and movements from all corners of the Earth have voluntarily withdrawn from the talks. According to a spokesperson for Oxfam, around 800 civil society members (which is the label applied to all advocate and activist types at these meetings) have walked out. In a joint statement, group leaders offered that "the best use of their time" was to now focus "on mobilizing people to push our governments to take leadership for serious climate action."
"Polluters talk, civil society walks."
Participants in the walkout — which included members and organizers from Oxfam, Greenpeace International, 350.org, WWF International, the International Trade Union Confederation, ActionAid International, Friends of the Earth Europe, and dozens of other groups large and small from around the world — assembled just after lunchtime outside the main food court in the National Stadium that is hosting the meetings. After statements from the heads of a handful of international orgs, including Kumi Naidoo, executive director of Greenpeace International, members of civil society headed for the exits.
"The real hooligans are the CEOs of fossil fuel companies," Naidoo told the crowd.

In the joint statement, the groups said, "enough is enough," but insisted that they were not walking away from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change process entirely, promising to return for COP20 in Lima, Peru, in 2014.
Some delegates even offered words of support to the activists gathered in front of the food court. "I'm here to support your courage," said Tosi Mpanu-Mpanu from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a key negotiator at the talks and former chair of the African Group.
Brendan DeMelle/DeSmogBlogWalkers-out revealed matching white shirts before bailing.
Jamie Henn of 350.org offered this statement:
It's powerful to see groups from across civil society coming to the same conclusion that in order to keep open any hope of an international climate treaty, we need to challenge the power of the fossil fuel industry. By walking out of COP19, we're walking into a fight with the real enemies to progress: the coal, oil and gas companies that have a stranglehold over our governments and economy. It's time to stop sitting in negotiating halls and stand with the Philippines and millions more who are calling for real climate action in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan.
Henn invited similarly frustrated citizens outside of Warsaw to attend one of hundreds of candlelight vigils this evening, which have been organized by 350.org all around the world.
The protesters were lucky to find their way out of the National Stadium labyrinth.
Not every environmental group at the climate talks left the building. The Climate Action Network is an international coalition of over 850 member groups. Some CAN members have stayed and some have left. A rep from CAN said that the umbrella group "supports the spirit in which it was made." But the organization also supports member groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council, who have kept a presence at the talks in order to continue to advocate for important decisions that still could be made, such as a legal mechanism for dealing with loss and damage, one of the key sticking points of these talks.

Facebook Advertising.
Likes and Shares are Just the Tip of the Iceberg
Optimizaiton
Uploading pictures is great and all.
But why stop there? Let's make money.
Setting up a Facebook business page doesn't require much effort or knowledge. That's part of the magic, just ask Zuckerberg. But, advertising on Facebook is a little more complex. Once you create a page, you must create, customize, and edit content that will produce results.
You have a business to manage, and only so many hands. Instead of trying to juggle it all, let us manage the page and campaigns for you, and watch your revenue column soar.
Managing Paid Campaigns
Facebook is a great platform for marketing and advertising, especially for small and medium-sized businesses. It provides excellent tools for promoting business that allow you to define, measure, and fine-tune your campaign at any given time.
Facebook allows you to advertise at very low costs without burning all of your budget in one place. But, to do it successfully requires much research, practice, and trial-and-error. In short, it can be very time consuming.
You'll have to choose your goals, advertising tools, target audiences, budget, advertising channels, and much more, while also struggling to independently answer questions meant for professionals. Who has the time? Leave it all to us. Whether you are a large or small brand, let's meet.
Target Audience Segmentation
The most important element in Facebook advertising is to effectively approach your target audience. That's what we're here for.
Our experts will define target audiences with uncompromising precision, and make sure your advertising reaches only where it is relevant. Yalla, what are you waiting for?
Campaign optimization begins with a set of frequent checks that inform you of your campaign's strengths and weaknesses. From there, we improve it by sharpening our messages, visibility, and advertising methods to ensure maximum efficiency.
We are the gatekeepers! We run dozens of campaigns that reach thousands of people daily. Every day we check, update, improve, test, and repeat, so that our customers can make maximum profits.
Copywriting and Content Management
Creating and managing Facebook pages requires an understanding of communication, content management, image processing, voice and video, customer service, marketing, psychology, and most importantly: a thorough introduction to Facebook, its unique language, and the mysterious ways it operates.
The words, photos, videos, comments, surveys, etc., on your page can create either a positive viral effect, or a complicated and costly crisis. So, think twice before each post. Why take the risk when you can just ask the people who do it for a living?
Our experts eat, sleep, and breathe Facebook. We have a talented and experienced group that will go to lengths to maintain your brand and strengthen it against trolls, without distracting you from your goals.
Are your customers on Facebook all day? Here's what to do:
For us to plan your Facebook marketing strategy and track its progress, we will create a list of detailed and realistic goals and use all our capabilities to ensure that they are met.
Create Content
There is constant competition for the attention of users online. Just like Darwin said, only those who offer valuable and original content can survive, beat out the competition, and connect with the audience. Original and quality content makes the audience respond. We can produce it.
Analyze Demographics
One of the biggest advantages of social networking is the ability to access useful information about site visitors. Using data such as age, sex, place of residence, etc., we are able to hone our advertising toward those who will respond to it.
Behavioral Analysis
Social networks reveal data about surfers' level of education, marital status, preferred news site, taste in fashion, and more. Sometimes it feels like Facebook knows us better than we know ourselves. We use this data to refine messages, focus, and produce better results.

Why open a business page on Facebook?
Facebook is the largest and most influential social network in the world. It offers businesses a variety of tools for advertising, imaging, sales, marketing, and exposure. These enable you to reach your target audience in the most efficient, accurate, and effective way regardless of factors like location and size. Want to know how to use them? Let's talk.
How do I advertise on Facebook?
Facebook gives advertisers tools for two types of advertising: organic and sponsored. Non-sponsored posts attract attention and could potentially go viral, with little effort on your part. Sponsored posts allow accurate targeting of audiences, full budget control, platform selection (Facebook vs. Instagram), various types of content, and much more. With Facebook, you can keep your finger on the pulse of your campaign and be in full control.
What is campaign optimization?
Optimizing digital campaigns is not exclusive to social networks, but the wealth of information that networks provide about target audiences allows for highly accurate and effective campaigns. Segmentation by age, sex, country, etc. is easily available, enabling us to check conversion ratios at any moment and improve anything necessary to achieve the desired results.
How do you target the target audience?
Choosing the target audiences and learning how to approach them is vital. Though your product/service might appeal to a number of relevant audiences, you shouldn't approach them in exactly the same way. Rather, define a primary audience and create a quality campaign geared toward it. Use the lessons you learn from this campaign in future campaigns directed towards other audiences. Comparing results of multiple campaigns will teach you more about your target audience, and effective ways to reach them.
How many posts per week?
This depends on a variety of factors, such as: your business area, its seniority in that field, the target audience, whether it is a product or service, etc. However, always remember that every action we perform online affects our digital 'footprint', which can teach us quite a bit about ourselves.
A business promoting itself on social media should enlarge its digital footprint and sharpen it regularly to reach new customers and show target audiences as much about it as possible. A large number of relevant posts will increase awareness of your business, but, like anything, don't overdo it.
Why join Instagram?
"A picture is worth a thousand words", right? These days, it can be worth much more. Instagram is a Facebook-owned network for users to share photos and videos and create their own personal brand and image. For businesses, it's a great opportunity to connect with customers by sharing behind-the-scenes views of things like the staff or new products and deals. This personalizes the brand, improves its image, and increases customer loyalty.
Let us prove it to you...
Our clients always say that they were sold after their first phone call with us.
Some resources for reading and thought…
Building and promoting sites in the digital age requires knowledge and experience. Many methodologies, methods, technologies and capabilities used are updated and altered frequently. So, we have prepared a number of resources on various subjects so that you can understand and appreciate our process.

So I was just looking through my Skype one day.
I was preparing to delete it from my computer, since I had long since fully migrated to Discord; I wanted to reminisce upon some of my older messages from years ago.
I see Zerowing's messages back in January...then I realize I completely forgot my promise to return in the Summer.
I spent the last week trying to remember what the name of it was; I even looked through Didathing's channel, The Ponderer, for some possible hints.
Yeah, I've been subscribed to him for like a year even though I watch absolutely none of his videos, as I never watch movies.
1. It looks exactly the same.
4. It's still active...? Definitely not as active as it used to be, as the last post was literally 4 days ago, but I guess it counts in my book as 'active'.
So how's FF been doing? Haven't checked up on the project.
Gawd, I'm so out of the loop now...trying to get back into this is gonna be a nightmare.
Wonder how Mandork and ya'll got past my spontaneous disappearance.
You can still partake int eh event, just in the present section of things.
As for FF, retro is up, but is only the future section of the game.
This stuff takes time, so ease back into things.

Commenting on the results, Daniel L. Jones, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Encore Wire Corporation, said, "The unprecedented results in the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 are grounded in the rich history and core values of the Company. Unbeatable customer service, nimble operations and quick deliveries coast to coast. Our one-location, vertically-integrated business model, strong management team, and deep raw material supplier relationships allowed us to remain fully operational, while maintaining our high standard for fill rates to meet surging demand in the current environment. By continuing to meet this value premise to our customers, we were able to increase copper volumes sold over the first quarter of 2021. We believe we can sustain this volume growth, compared to prior period levels, for the remainder of 2021.
Copper unit volumes increased 33.4% on a comparative quarter basis and 15.1% on a sequential quarter basis. Comex copper prices experienced upward volatility throughout the second quarter, peaking in May before pulling back slightly to end the quarter. This upward volatility had a positive impact on spreads. Copper spreads increased 234.0% on a comparative quarter basis and 109.2% on a sequential quarter basis.
We believe Encore Wire remains well positioned to capture additional market share and incremental growth in the current economic environment. As we address the near-term challenges, we remain focused on the long-term opportunities for our business. We believe that our superior order fill rates and deep vertical integration continue to enhance our competitive position. As orders come in from electrical contractors, our distributors can continue to depend on us for quick deliveries coast to coast. Our balance sheet remains very strong. We have no long-term debt, and our revolving line of credit is paid down to zero. In addition, we had $157.9 million in cash at the end of the quarter. We also declared a $0.02 cash dividend during the quarter.
Our two-phased expansion plan announced last year remains on schedule. The new service center opened seamlessly in mid-May and is fully operational today. Phase two, which is focused on repurposing our now vacated distribution center to expand manufacturing capacity and extend our market reach, is on schedule for an early 2022 opening.
We have been under construction since inception and we continue to grow today. The outstanding financial results through June 30th have fortified our already strong balance sheet and will continue to bolster cash reserves. Current market conditions have afforded us the opportunity to accelerate our capital expenditure plans and incrementally invest across our campus. We believe these investments will broaden our position as a low-cost manufacturer in the sector and further increase manufacturing capacity to accelerate growth. The incremental spending in 2021 through 2023 will expand vertical integration in our manufacturing processes to reduce costs as well as modernize select wire manufacturing facilities to increase capacity and efficiency. Capital expenditures are now expected to range from $150 - $170 million in 2021, $140 - $160 million in 2022, and $60 - $80 million in 2023. We expect to fund these investments with existing cash reserves and operating cash flows.
Our low-cost structure and strong balance sheet have allowed us the nimbleness to adapt quickly to changing market conditions, and we believe they are continuing to prove valuable now. We thank our employees and associates for their outstanding effort and our shareholders for their continued support."
The health and safety of our employees and their families remain our top priority, and we are following CDC guidelines to maintain safe working conditions. The Company is unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 may have on our financial position and operating results in future periods. The duration or re-emergence of the outbreak and its long-term impact on our business remain uncertain.
The Company will host a conference call to discuss the second quarter results on Wednesday, July 28, 2021, at 10:00 am Central time. Hosting the call will be Daniel Jones, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Bret Eckert, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. To participate in the call, the dial-in number is 800-993-8735, and the confirmation number is 50192034. In order to be put through to the call, you will be required to give the call screener your full name and your company name. Please call in early to avoid being delayed by the information collection and missing the start of the call.

The International Spy Museum is Moving to L'Enfant Plaza
Written by Dean Essner
Photo courtesy of the International Spy Museum.
After nearly 14 years in Penn Quarter, the International Spy Museum made official its plans to move a new home in Southwest DC. The museum will relocate to a newly constructed building at L'Enfant Plaza scheduled to open spring 2018.
Since opening in July 2002, the Spy Museum, which documents American espionage through history and pop culture, hasn't always had it easy. Its status as a non-Smithsonian requires it to depend on ticket sales, and in recent years, the museum has restructured itself to ensure its future. The initial announcement that it is moving to L'Enfant Plaza was paired with the news that it was becoming a nonprofit in the hopes of getting $15 million in tax relief from the DC government. There also was a 2014 deal in place to move the museum to Carnegie Library, which fell through.
The move to Southwest DC isn't just a relocation, though. It's also an expansion. The new museum, which will sit in front of a glass atrium on L'Enfant Plaza, is slated to include special design elements that reinforce its themes, such as a veil suspended in front of a black-box exhibition space that will allow people to be visible from inside and outside the building. Other added features for the 140,000-square-foot facility—designed by the London firm Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners—include more exhibit and educational space and a theater.
The Spy Museum's relocation fits in with the District's broader agenda of enlivening L'Enfant Plaza and the rest of Southwest DC.
"The new Spy Museum will be a welcome addition to Southwest as we continue to attract businesses and expand economic opportunity," Mayor Muriel Bowser says in a press release.
This article has been updated to clarify the International Spy Museum's financial health.
