Solitudine e comunita
Solitude and community
[January 1978]
This item is an 11 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled,' Solitude and Community', published in Worship, January 1978, pp. 13 – 23. Nouwen begins the article by noting that many people who live in community are asking how to find space and time for themselves because the intensity of community life has proved difficult. Nouwen identifies the purpose of this article as; 'to offer some reflections on solitude in community in the hope that for some communities these ideas may offer new strength to remain faithful to the vision which originally brought them together'. Nouwen begins by identifying two viewpoints about the role of solitude in community which he considers false or too limited: 1) Solitude over against community and 2) Solitude in Service of community. This latter he clarifies solitude considered as simply 'a tool in the service of life together'. Under the heading, 'Solitude and Community' Nouwen suggests what he sees as the real relationship between the two: 'Solitude without community leads us to loneliness and despair, but community without solitude hurls us into a "void of words and feelings"'. He then goes on to state,' I now would like to develop this view in more detail by relating solitude to intimacy, clarity and prayer'. In discussing what he intends by 'intimacy' Nouwen states that in solitude members of community may grow closer to each other. Nouwen states that constant talking things out without the depth provided by solitude, does not lead to communal growth. He suggests that 'in solitude we are given the awareness of a unity that is prior to all unifying actions'. With regard to 'clarity' Nouwen states, 'In solitude we begin to see more clearly and are more able to distinguish between what can be shared and what should be left unspoken'. In discussing 'prayer' Nouwen says the following 'When I speak of prayer I refer less to saying prayers than to living a prayerful life in which eating and drinking, sleeping waking, working and praying are all done to the honor and glory of God'. Nouwen concludes the article by pointing out the difficulty of living out what he has said because of the many forces against, it but that it would be important then to consider 'Education to solitude…is an important task for communities…'

Letting go of all things
This item is a 2 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, ' Letting Go of All Things', published in Sojourners magazine, May 1979, pp. 5& 6. This article is identified as a 'response to "The Work of Prayer" a project of Sojourners to pray for peace in face of the arms race. Nouwen begins by asking what this call might mean: does it represent a failure of action? A turning to God because turning to people didn't help much? A capitulation to quietism? A dramatic gesture? Nouwen believes not: 'I believe that the Sojourners are discovering a dimension of prayer they did not see before…I see their call not as an invitation to retreat into a familiar piety , but as a challenge to make a radical move toward prayer as "the only necessary thing"'. Nouwen suggests prayer as a dying to self, an opening to God, is the ground from which people move out into the world of action. Nouwen concludes, ' When …our act of prayer remains the act from which all actions flow, we can be joyful even when our times are depressing, peaceful even when the threat of war is all around us, hopeful even when we are constantly tempted to despair.
Article about Nouwen's feelings after attending the June 1980 Community of Communities Theological Conference
This item is a one column article by Henri Nouwen with no title but part of a larger article entitled 'Hearing Heart to Heart, responses to a theological conference on prayer, published in Sojourners, October 1980, p.23,24. Nouwen begins by identifying his physical and emotional tiredness when he arrived at the conference but then states, 'My week [at Woodland Park] will stick in my mind as one of the most hopeful events of my life'. Nouwen states that he does not speak of hope as optimism but the hope and trust in God who promises 'unwavering faithfulness'. Nouwen then goes on to state that he learned from the conference that there are two essential aspects to the common life: prayer and resistance. Prayer holds the community steady and resistance is 'an act of visible protest against the powers who are bent on waging war even at the cost of the destruction of humanity'.
Temptation: the pull toward upward mobility
This item is a 3 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, 'Temptation', published in Sojourners,Vol. 10, No. 7, July , 1981, pp. 25 -27. This is part two of a three part series. Nouwen begins by stating that the spiritual life is 'the life of the Spirit of Christ within and among us'. He then suggests that there is also the 'Evil One' who roams among us and tempts us away from the life of Jesus. This article looks at the three temptations of Jesus in the wilderness. The first temptation Nouwen identifies as the temptation to be relevant. 'This temptation touches us at the center of our identity. In a variety of ways we are made to believe that we are what we produce'. The second temptation Nouwen identifies as the temptation to be spectacular. 'We have come to believe that a service is valuable when many attend, a protest meeting is worthwhile when television cameras are present…' Nouwen suggests that we value things that get a great deal of attention but forget the quiet unobtrusive ways of Jesus. The third temptation is the temptation to be powerful. Nouwen suggests we long for power, but the more we have the less we are satisfied. He goes on to point out that the only power that 'works' is the power of God which is often seen as powerlessness. 'We do not belong to the world. We belong to God'.
This item is a 6 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled 'Spiritual Direction' published in Worship, Collegeville, Minnesota, Volume 55, Number 5, September, 1981, pp. 399 - 404.
Nouwen begins this article by stating his definition of spiritual direction. 'Spiritual direction is direction given to people in their relationship with God' Nouwen then goes on to say 'I would like to offer a few ideas which might help in defining the nature of this ministry…which might begin to suggest some concrete ways in which this ministry can be practiced'. Under his first heading which speaks about the movement 'from absurdity to obedience' Nouwen defines the first as the root of 'deaf' and the second as the root of 'listening'. Nouwen speaks of the difficulty of moving from the busyness of the absurd/deaf life to being willing to hear and then gain the discipline of obedient following of God. In his second section Nouwen speaks of 'The three disciplines of the spiritual life'. These disciplines are identified as: the discipline of the church, the discipline of the Book and the discipline of the heart. Nouwen concludes his article by suggesting that at this time in history when many traditional ways of living are breaking down and people are turning to religious leaders for guidance, this is more than ever a time to consider spiritual direction.

Entering the heart of God
This item is a 2 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, 'Entering the Heart of God', published in The Catholic Agitator, February 4, 1984, pp. 4-5. This article is identified as a condensation from a talk which Nouwen gave in Pasadena, Ca. on October 10, 1983. Nouwen opens the article by stating, 'Every time we celebrate the Eucharist we say, "Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again". I have repeated those words over and over again daily, but since I went to Central America they have taken on new meaning for me'. In the first section of the article entitled 'Christ has died", Nouwen says that in his visit to Nicaragua 'I saw Christ being crucified again'. He reminds people that even though they may have many troubles at home the Christian also enters into the heart of God who 'became all humanity' and that there is therefore a broader responsibility for one another. Nouwen discusses his hope that the church in Central America would at least be providing a word of peace and hope but that instead he found division and confusion. In the second section entitled, 'Christ has risen' Nouwen begins by stating that this means that 'there is no pain or agony or confusion or conflict that has the final say'. Nouwen speaks of the meeting between a number of Americans and some women of Nicaragua who had lost children, husbands and others to U.S. supported violence from Honduras. The Americans asked forgiveness for the actions of their government and in a moment of powerful presence, it was given. 'They wanted us to be free from our guilt so that we could speak for them and for peace. In the third section entitled, 'Christ will come again' Nouwen says that that moment will be when Christ does not ask if you were successful but what we have done 'for the least of these'.
Intimacy, fecundity and ecstasy
This item is a 7 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, 'Intimacy, Fecundity and Ecstasy' published in Radix, May/June 1984, N 8 – 23, pp. 8 – 12, 22-23. Nouwen begins with a quotation from John's Gospel, Chapter 15, and introduces a connection with this gospel passage and the work of Jean Vanier, the founder of L'Arche. 'Out of that experience of living with severely handicapped people, Jean Vanier came to a conclusion, a kind of vision, that all human beings have three rights, or three privileges. They are the right and privilege of intimacy, the right and privilege of fecundity, and the right and privilege of ecstasy'. Nouwen then goes on to discuss each of these three 'rights'. He begins by noting how difficult intimacy is for modern people; that people are unhappy and often at the mercy of their needs and the wounds of generations. Nouwen then asks, 'Is there another way of living?' and suggests that when Jesus says 'make your home in me', the answer is to be found there. With regard to fecundity, Nouwen begins by distinguishing between fruitfulness and productivity. He goes on to describe our society's need to measure and control and duplicate, which he sees as productivity. Fruitfulness, Nouwen describes as a gift of vulnerability. 'Probably the most important quality of fruit is that we have to leave it alone in order for it to grow'. In the final section on ecstasy Nouwen speaks of joy, the joy given by Jesus. Nouwen suggests that so many people live at a level of busyness, boredom and a sense of meaninglessness. He suggests that to be ecstatic is to move out of a state of being static; being willing to change and grow; to choose life. Nouwen concludes by saying,' Wherever we live, we can live celebrating ecstatically, always having a party. There's something new, a smile, because God is with us and we want to live'.
El resucitado vive experimentando la reconciliacion en Nicaragua
This item is a 2 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled: 'Letting Go of all things', published in Baptist Peacemaker, Vol. V, No. 2, April 1985, pp. 1 & 5. It was previously published in Sojourners, May, 1979.
Nouwen begins by stating 'The call to prayer is not an invitation to retreat to a familiar piety, but a challenge to make a radical move toward prayer as "the only necessary thing"'. Nouwen suggests prayer is a dying to self, a call to martyrdom, an opening to God, and is the ground from which people move out into the world of action. Nouwen quotes from a recent book by holocaust survivor Floris B. Bakels about the power prayer had for him in the camp. Nouwen writes about our ambivalence toward prayer, being drawn to it and yet resistant to it because of the demands we feel will be made by God. Nouwen concludes, ' When …our act of prayer remains the act from which all actions flow, we can be joyful even when our times are depressing, peaceful even when the threat of war is all around us, hopeful even when we are constantly tempted to despair'.
Liberation: freedom to love
This item is a 1 ½ page article by Henri Nouwen entitled: 'Liberation: Freedom to Love', published in Together by World Vision International, April-June 1985, No. 7. This item is identified as excerpts from Nouwen's prologue to Gustavo Gutierrez' book 'We Drink from our own Wells'. Nouwen begins by stating, 'The spirituality of liberation is deeply rooted in the lived experience of God's presence in history'. Nouwen then writes that Gutierrez believes liberation theology cannot be reduced to a political movement nor is it a 'theological rationale for a class struggle'. Nouwen states that Jesus is the center of the movement and Jesus loves both the oppressed and the oppressor. Nouwen reiterates a theme he has spoken of before that the spiritual well-being of the Americas, north and south are tied together and that the 'inflamed' cord of Central America that binds them together is reminding us that there is a deep spiritual crisis that involves the whole of the Americas. He concludes, ' In the name of millions of the nameless poor, Gustavo Gutierrez reaches out a hand to us and calls us to open our hearts again to the life-giving Spirit of Jesus…'
Living in joyful ecstasy
This item is a 5 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, ', Living in Joyful Ecstasy, The House of God a Home amid an anxious World', published in Sojourners, Vol. 14, No. 8, August/September 1985, pp. 27 – 31. This is part 3 of a three part series. Nouwen begins by stating that he does not believe ecstasy is simply for the mystical few but is in fact, for all Christian people. 'I consider it very important to reclaim the word 'ecstasy' for all Christian people who strive to move from the house of fear to the house of love'. Nouwen then points to Jesus emphasis that he has come to bring joy and that all are called to remain in that joy. Nouwen moves from this introduction to a section entitled,' Ecstasy and Fear' and begins by stating that 'just as fear prevents intimacy and fecundity, so too it makes ecstasy impossible'. He suggests that fear makes us cling to routine, to sameness and fear of change. Nouwen speaks of the people of L'Arche with whom he spent time and notes both the presence of routine but also the journey from fear to joy.' If the world is a fearful place where you need all of your emotional energy just to survive, there is little capacity to move from one way of being alive to another…Where all has become fear, joy cannot be'. In the next section entitled, 'Ecstasy and Love' Nouwen points to the great difference between ephemeral happiness and deep joy. Deep joy is the joy of Jesus. It is a joy that holds both happiness and sorrow, good times and bad. '[Joy] is the solid ground from which new life can always burst forth'. In a final section entitled, 'A New International Order' Nouwen moves on to write of the fears that are causing nations to build barriers and to fights battles rather than seek reconciliation and peace. He points to Jesus' call to 'the nations' as well as to individual people. Nouwen notes the situations in Central and South America as places in which fear has brought nations almost to the brink of nuclear war. Nouwen concludes by stating, 'The word "ecstasy" has opened a new perspective on joy as an essential element of a truly Christian spirituality. It is the constant moving away from the static places of death into the place where life can be recognized and celebrated'.
Saying no to death
This item is a 3 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, 'Saying No to Death' published in Fellowship the journal of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, Vol. 51, No. 9, September, 1985, pp. 9 – 11. Nouwen begins the article by citing a visit to an exclusive preparatory school where everyone seemed polite, intelligent and good mannered. However, at some point they all watched a film containing great deal of violence which was obviously entertaining to the young audience. Nouwen points to 'the fact that a large portion of contemporary entertainment is fascinated with violence and death'. Nouwen then goes on to write of the various ways in which human beings live death which includes hatred, fear, judgment of others, desire to destroy what we fear. By judging others Nouwen suggests we play God but 'everyone who plays God ends up acting as the demon'. Nouwen goes on to state that the peacemaker never plays God, never judges but sees others as fellow sinners and fellow saints. He suggests that, 'As peacemakers we must have the courage to see the powers of death at work even in our innermost selves'. Nouwen points to our need to see ourselves as forgiven people rather than living in self-hatred which brings depression and fear and a form of death. In contrast to death Nouwen suggests that 'Life mean mobility and change. Wherever there is life there is movement and growth'. Nouwen concludes by stating that 'real resistance [to death] requires the humble confession that we are partners in the evil we seek to resist'.
Peace, a gift we receive in prayer
This item is an 11 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, 'Peace, A Gift We Receive in Prayer', published in the New Oxford Review, Vol. LII, No. 7, September 1985, pp. 7 – 18. It is indicated that this is part 1 of a 3 part series entitled: A Spirituality of Peacemaking. Nouwen opens the article by asking, 'Must it remain this way? Must war drums constantly disturb us? Must we hear over and over that we need more and stronger weapons to safeguard our values and our lives?'. Nouwen goes on to describe his own struggle from hesitation to describe himself as a peacemaker to an understanding of the need to do so. Nouwen states, 'I hope to show how peacemaking can no longer be regarded as peripheral to being a Christian'. 'Christians today … have to find the courage to make the word peace as important as the word freedom'. Nouwen then goes on at some length to speak about the peacemaker as one who prays. 'Prayer is the beginning and the end, the source and the fruit, the core and the content, the basis and the goal of all peacemaking'. Nouwen describes peace as a divine gift which is received in prayer. It is in prayer, he suggests, that we find ourselves part of wounded humanity, one like those who create war. 'Only when we are willing repeatedly to confess that we too have dirty hands even when we work for peace, can we fully understand the hard task of peacemaking'. Nouwen references the gospels and the words of Jesus about the prayer of the peacemaker and the receipt of the gift of love in the relationship with Jesus that comes from prayer. 'Nothing is more important in peacemaking than that it flows from a deep and undeniable experience of love'. Nouwen describes prayer as 'the first and foremost act of resistance against the arms race'. Nouwen concludes by referencing a story from one of the desert fathers and by stating, ' When we can see our own sinful self in a tranquil mirror and confess that we too are warmakers, then we may be ready to start walking humbly on the road to peace'.
Saying "no" to death in all its manifestations
This item is an 8 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled: 'Saying "No" to Death in All its Manifestations', published in the New Oxford Review, Volume LII, No. 8, October 1985, pp. 10 – 18. It is identified as Part II of a three part series. Nouwen begins by speaking of his experience of the Jewish holocaust when he was a child in Holland and of his awareness of the questions asked after, how could we let this happen? Nouwen realizes that now he is a well-educated adult and cannot claim that he does not see the horrors of the current nuclear threat or the injustices of American and other societies. He goes on to state, 'Peacemaking is not an option any longer but a holy obligation for all people whatever their professional or family situation. Peacemaking is a way of living that involves our whole being all the time.' Nouwen continues to write about the nuclear threat of the annihilation of the world as we know it; the way in which people who oppose it are treated unjustly; the way in which we enter into an 'all pervasive fascination with death that is an integral part of our daily lives.' Nouwen describes what he sees as the reality that 'violence [is] mental before it is physical'. He writes that when we refuse to see others who are different as our brothers and sisters that is the beginning of future violence and death. He goes on to say, 'I am moved by the idea that a peacemaker never judges anybody' and that we become better peacemakers when we are able to forgive ourselves and others for our humanity. Nouwen then suggests, 'Peacemaking requires clear resistance to death in all its manifestations…Real resistance requires the humble confession that we are partners in the evil that we seek to resist'.
Saying a humble, compassionate, & joyful "yes" to life
This item is an 8 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, 'Saying a Humble, Compassionate, & Joyful "yes" to Life' published in the New Oxford Review, Vol. LII, No. 9, November 1985, pp. 19 – 26. This item is identified as being Part III of a series entitled, 'A Spirituality of Peacemaking'. Nouwen begins by reminding the reader that in a previous part he discussed the need for us to say 'No" to death. He then goes on to say 'Resisting the forces of death is only meaningful when we are fully in touch with the forces of life we want to uphold'. Nouwen writes that it is more powerful to work for the forces of life than to face directly, the forces of death into which we may be drawn and unable to resist. Nouwen writes of the need of the Peacemaker to work with the forces of life which is a gentle, vulnerable force in order to resist death. Nouwen writes at length about resistance and suggests that there are three aspects of life that are important to one who is a resister, a peacemaker: humility, compassion and joy. Nouwen then discusses at length these three aspects of life. Nouwen concludes this section by stating, 'Thus the "No" to death can only be fruitful when spoken and acted out in the context of a humble, compassionate, and joyful "yes" to life. Resistance becomes a truly spiritual task only when the "no" to death and the "yes" to life are never separated'. In the last part of the article Nouwen writes of demonstrations of peaceful resistance that he has experienced and about which he expresses a certain level of ambivalence. Nouwen speaks of the peacemaker's need for prayer and concludes the article by stating, 'It is hard for me to see how resistance can be fruitful unless it deepens and strengthens our relationship with God. Prayer and resistance, the twin pillars of Christian peacemaking, are two interlocking ways of giving expression to the peace we have found in the dwelling place of God'.
The spirituality of peacemaking
This item is a 3 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, 'The Spirituality of Peacemaking' published in The Lutheran, February 5, 1986, pp. 12 – 14. Nouwen writes of the peacemaker as one who prays. 'Prayer is the beginning and the end, the source and the fruit, the core and the content, the basis and the goal of all peacemaking'. Nouwen describes peace as a divine gift which is received in prayer. It is in prayer, he suggests, that we find ourselves part of wounded humanity, one like those who create war. 'Only when we are willing repeatedly to confess that we too have dirty hands even when we work for peace, can we fully understand the hard task of peacemaking'. Nouwen references the gospels and the words of Jesus about the prayer of the peacemaker and the receipt of the gift of love in the relationship with Jesus that comes from prayer. 'Nothing is more important in peacemaking than that it flows from a deep and undeniable experience of love'. Nouwen concludes, 'Prayer – living in the presence of God – is the most radical peace action we can imagine'.
Excerpt from The living reminder
[May 1986]
This item is a short paragraph by Henri Nouwen printed in The Builder, May 1986 and is identified as an excerpt from Nouwen's book, 'The Living Reminder'. The paragraph begins 'A sustaining ministry requires the art of creative withdrawal so that in memory God's Spirit can manifest itself and lead to the full truth'.
The fullness of divine love: reflections on a Russian Pentecost icon
This item is a 4 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, 'The Fullness of Divine Love: Reflections on a Russian Pentecost Icon", published in Sojourners, Vol. 15, No. 6, June 1986, pp. 24 – 27. This article is a reflection on Andrei Rublev's icon, The Descent of the Holy Spirit' a Russian icon painted toward the end of the 15th C. Nouwen writes that he is sharing the results of his prolonged reflection on this icon. Nouwen first stresses that he sees that 'God reveals the fullness of divine love first of all in community' rather than relying just on the individual. Nouwen says that he intends to show in more detail, three aspects of the spiritual life as he sees this in the icon. The first heading he entitles: 'The God Within' and it results from the quietude he sees in the grouping in the icon as contrasted with usual Pentecostal activity in much art. 'The Pentecost icon is such a masterpiece precisely because it draws us into the heart of the mystery of God's self-revelation'. The second heading he entitles: 'The community of Faith' and here he begins 'The Spirit within, the Spirit of the God of love, the Spirit of the Living Christ is the Holy Spirit who creates a new community among those who believe'. The third heading he entitles: 'Liberating the World'. This part is reflecting on the figure at the bottom of the icon in what seems to be a dark cave. Here Nouwen believes that that leads into the need of the community to go out to the world to bring the light and love of the Spirit. Nouwen concludes 'The Descent of the Holy Spirit is a door that leads us into the mystery of God's inner life'.
L'Icone de la Sainte Trinité
Running from what we desire: Yet God's jealous love pursues us
This item is a 4 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled 'Running from What We Desire', published in Partnership, Volume 3, No. 4, July – August 1986, pp. 32 – 35. Nouwen opens this article on prayer by relating a story of his own resistance to praying and that of others. He asks what it is that keeps us from praying and identifies fear as the most important factor. Nouwen believes that this fear comes from some underlying awareness of the kind of God we have. 'Prayer means letting God's creative love touch the most hidden places of our being, and letting Jesus' way of the cross, his way of downward mobility, truly become our way'. Nouwen continues the article by saying we must not be afraid of God, we must not be afraid of Jesus and we must not be afraid of the Holy Spirit.
Working for peace: saying "no" to death requires saying "yes" to life
This item is a 3 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled 'Working for Peace' published in The Church Herald of the Reformed Church in America, Vol. XLIII, No. 18, October 18, 1986, pp. 11 – 13. This is identified as the second of two articles on Peacemaking. Nouwen opens the article by stating, ' As peacemakers we must have the courage to see the powers of death at work even in our innermost selves…'Nouwen speaks of that within us which does not accept ourselves and that this is 'one of the greatest enemies of the peacemaker'. Nouwen speaks of the central message of the Gospel which is that we are forgiven and this truth can help us overcome our fear of ourselves and of others. Nouwen writes of the need to resist, resist the forces of death and to affirm life. He speaks of the need for joy even in the face of pain. Nouwen concludes by saying, 'Prayer cannot be fruitful unless it brings us into a new and creative relationship with people. Resistance cannot be fruitful unless it deepens and strengthens our relationship with God. Prayer and Resistance, the two pillars of Christian peacemaking…'This item is a 3 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled 'Working for Peace' published in The Church Herald of the Reformed Church in America, Vol. XLIII, No. 18, October 18, 1986, pp. 11 – 13. This is identified as the second of two articles on Peacemaking. Nouwen opens the article by stating, ' As peacemakers we must have the courage to see the powers of death at work even in our innermost selves…'Nouwen speaks of that within us which does not accept ourselves and that this is 'one of the greatest enemies of the peacemaker'.

Coping with distractions: routine busyness, church politics, et al.
The journey from despair to hope
This item is a 4 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, ' The Journey from Despair to Hope' published in Praying by the National Catholic Reporter Publishing Company, No. 17, Mar-Apr. 1987, pp. 4 – 7. Nouwen begins the article by stating that Jesus, from the place of despair in death, speaks to us not of optimism or pessimism but hope. Nouwen identifies three levels of despair current in human life: 'in interpersonal relationships, in global ways throughout the planet and in our church'. Nouwen goes on to say, ' I want to look at each of these ways of despair and then, drawing upon the hope Jesus offers us, try to say a word of hope in response'. In the first area of interpersonal despair Nouwen suggests that we tend to find relationships so often unsatisfactory, people cannot love us in a way that fulfills our deep need. Nouwen suggests that we have forgotten 'the first love' which is God's love for us and that is our hope. 'Freedom comes when you know with your heart that you are loved'. In the second level Nouwen points to our despair with the global situation and his sense that we almost prefer death to life in uncertainty. 'But Jesus says "no" to death'. Nouwen states that we need to live without judgment, trusting in life. 'Life is basically hidden. It is small and begs for constant care and protection. If you are committed to always saying "yes" to life, you are going to have to become a person who chooses it when it is hidden'. With regard to the third level of despair: in the church, Nouwen identifies this as particularly hard to bear but suggests that 'we are called to be a community. We are called to be together, in a fellowship of the weak to proclaim Jesus as Lord'.
Holding ground
[after March 28, 1987]
This item is a 9 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, 'Holding Ground', published in CALC Report by Baltimore Clergy and Laity Concerned, Vol. XIII, No. 2, sometime in Spring or summer 1987, pp. 12 – 20. This article is taken from a talk given by Henri Nouwen in March 1987 to Baltimore CALC's March Conference 'Responding in Faith as the Americas Meet'. Nouwen begins by describing a recent visit to the L'Arche community in Sujappa Honduras where he met Raphael a man who was deeply handicapped. 'I wondered what this silent and completely dependent, handicapped young man was telling me about the Central American conflict and the Christian response to it'. Nouwen then describes the various Central American points of conflict and suggests that he understood Raphael to be, in his powerlessness, revealing a new meaning to Jesus' words 'Hold your ground before the Son of Man'. "His broken crucified body warned me never to surrender to fear, to pray unceasingly and to act faithfully…'.Nouwen then goes on to speak in the section entitled Prayer about prayer as the way to keep hearts focused and united. Nouwen speaks of the injustice involving the Indian people of Central America, the presence of what he calls the 'descending Christ' among them and the importance of prayer as being rooted in him before being able to act. In the section entitled Action, Nouwen first points to much action which seems to have achieved nothing. Nouwen then identifies as being most Christian that action which comes from 'the place of forgiveness, reconciliation, community and compassion'. Nouwen then points to the importance of action having the quality of being able to receive, which is about recognizing the gifts of all. Nouwen also points to the importance of action as needing to be communal, of the whole Christian community, of the church. Nouwen concludes: ' By speaking about prayer and action in response to the Central American reality, I have tried to restate concretely the Christian call to be in the world without belonging to it, to work for peace and justice while never losing touch with the One in whom we find our identity, to say "No" to the power of death while staying truly alive, to act courageously while praying confidently'.
Trying to avoid temptations when among the famous & successful: on not being distracted by power & wealth
This item is a 6 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, 'Trying to Avoid Temptations when among the Famous and Successful', published in New Oxford Review, June 1987, pp. 9 – 14. This item is the ninth installment in a series of articles reflecting on the year Nouwen spent at L'Arche, Trosley Breuil, France, 1985/6. The items in this installment cover dates from April 26 – May 22, 1986. The first two entries are reflections on the day's gospel readings: asking in Jesus' name and Jesus as the vine and the pruning of the branches. Nouwen speaks of the suffering of the pruning process 'but they need to be cut away so that more fruit can grow'. He goes on to say, 'The great challenge is to continue to recognize God's pruning hand in my life'. The next item is written on Ascension day and Nouwen writes of the way this L'Arche community celebrates it. He describes the key points of a talk given by Jean Vanier on peacemaking. Nouwen then speaks of his busyness and yet his sense that he is accomplishing nothing. The remaining items cover a trip he then made to Boston, New York, Pittsburgh and Washington to visit friends and to give talks. Nouwen writes of the stress and anxiety he experiences in his friends and his desire that they should see another way of living that he himself has found in L'Arche. Nouwen meets in this trip some he calls 'the rich and the powerful' including Murray McDonnell in New York and members of the United States Senate in Washington and their thirst to hear about Jesus, 'Give us a word from God, speak to us about Jesus…do not stay away from the rich who are so poor…'. Nouwen in one entry reflects on what 'welcoming a little child in my name means'. Finally, Nouwen writes of being asked to give the commencement address at a Presbyterian Seminary. When he speaks with the seminarians he is surprised to hear them speaking more like professional businessmen than ministers. 'When I asked them how important Jesus was for them, they said there was a tendency to speak more about God than about Jesus'. Nouwen determines that he will speak of Jesus in his address. At the commencement ceremony Nouwen meets two old friends, Fred Rogers also known as Mr Rogers and John Fife a co-founder of the sanctuary movement.
The passion of Marthe Robin
This item is a 7 page article by Henri Nouwen entitled, 'The Passion of Marthe Robin', published in The Catholic Digest, November 1987, pp. 30 – 39. This is a series of excerpts from the diary of Henri Nouwen from the year he spent at L'Arche, Trosly Breuil, France in 1985/6. The entries in this article focus entirely on his visit to the house and room where Marthe Robin lived and died. Nouwen reflects and prays, with his friend Bernard, in her room on several occasions and speaks about the influence of Marthe on many people and especially on Père George Finet, the founder of the Foyers de Charité. Nouwen and his friend also visit the main Foyer de Charité and Fr. Finet in Chateauneuf de Galaure, France, also the place where Marthe Robin lived her life of prayer and suffering.
Holy week meditations
This item is a 5 page series of Holy Week meditations by Henri Nouwen entitled ' Holy Week Meditations', published in 'Praying' a journal of the National Catholic Reporter, March-April, 1988, No. 23, pp. 4 – 9. Some of these excerpts have appeared in Nouwen's Road to Daybreak, published in 1988 and are written during his time at l'Arche Trosley Breuil in France. The mediations begin with Palm Sunday and Nouwen is pondering Jesus' entry in Jerusalem and writing of the words spoken by Pere Thomas during the service. Monday is written in the form of a prayer. Tuesday begins with Jesus in John's gospel 'one of you will betray me'. Nouwen writes of Jesus being 'handed over' and moving from activity to passivity. Wednesday Nouwen writes of the positions of Peter and of Judas and the choices one makes to trust in God's mercy and the other to despair in the face of his betrayal rather than trust. Thursday Nouwen describes his participation in the Holy Thursday service at the l'Arche community in Paris and speaks of being touched deeply by the washing of the feet. 'I saw a glimpse of the new kingdom Jesus came to bring. Everybody in the room knew how far they were from being a perfect expression of God's love. But everybody was also willing to make a step in the direction to which Jesus pointed'. Good Friday which Nouwen describes as both a day of suffering and a day of hope. Nouwen writes of seeing Christ's body lying across the whole world and the immense suffering of humanity. Holy Saturday Nouwen writes of the Easter Vigil, and sees 'the celebration of the resurrection of the body is also the celebration of the daily care given to the bodies of these handicapped men and women. Nouwen ends the mediations with Easter Sunday. A quiet Eucharist at Mdme Vanier's house and the discussion after the Mass. 'The five of us sitting in a circle around the table with a little bread and a little wine…knew deep in our hearts that for us too all had changed, while all had remained the same'.

Coryoon (PC Engine)
Ship speed selectable
Developed by naxat soft
Published by naxat soft in 1991
Once there was a baby dragon who adored his princess. He loved her so much he even launched himself in a quest to avenge her being turned into a midget troll by a mindless fiend. That's the story to the Japan-exclusive cute'em up Coryoon - Child of Dragon, an impressive but at the same time disappointing game that also carries the fame of being one of the PC Engine's rarest and most expensive shooters. A colorful, fast and incredibly easy experience awaits those who're bold enough to own it or comfortable enough to emulate.
If you're familiar with the much cheaper Air Zonk/PC Denjin you'll feel right at home with Coryoon, simply because both games seem to have been developed over the same mold. They've got the same vibe and excel at the same technical aspects, even though Coryoon takes the cake as the most accomplished of the two. Suffice it to say that despite the hectic action the game remains almost absolutely free of slowdown, something that Air Zonk wasn't able to avoid during its most intense sections. We're talking about really impressive programming here, especially considering how technically limited the PC Engine is when it comes down to graphical effects such as parallax scrolling. You need to really overload pixel manipulation to see Coryoon start to choke with sprite flicker, and that's not easy to do.
Baby dragon meets all kinds of crazy flying creatures across eight stages full of bosses (two per stage and a boss rush in the final level). He can certainly do lots of things for such a little creature loose in a nasty magical world, and one of them is to spit three types of attacks defined by the cycling orbs brought by storks (button II): flame (red), wave laser (blue) and lightning bolts (yellow). Sticking to the same weapon type will increase its power in three steps. Upon switching to a different weapon the power level is properly preserved, but if you get hit the weapon is lost and you're left with the default basic pea shooter. This is the only condition that results in death if baby dragon takes a hit, and half the reason why the game is so easy. The other half comes from the fact that the game grants extends like candy in Halloween. Seriously, I didn't even bother to take note of the extend interval, if you don't die you might as well come out of the first stage with 8 lives in reserve instead of the starting 4.
"I'm not bored of the action, I'm just blinking!"
Baby dragon can also fire a charged flame attack if you refrain from shooting for a little while, as well as toggle between two different flying speeds with the SELECT button. Four special powers are at his disposal according to the card suits released by certain enemies, but you can only use/activate one suit at a time. Hearts adds two rotating options that lock in vertical position when button I is pressed. Diamonds shrinks baby dragon but doesn't let him use the charge attack anymore. Spades is your good old smart bomb, detonated with button I. Finally, clubs works as a fruit magnet as long as you keep button I pressed. Fruits, by the way, are what give Coryoon its visual intensity: all enemies release varying sizes of fruit, and since they're worth lots of points the game soon turns into a collecting frenzy.
A last item to be collected appears when you destroy a white chicken. It gives the player a homing little dragon that hovers around the screen shooting and causing random damage. You don't lose it even if you die, but the thing will flee whenever you meet a boss. The chicken doesn't appear often though, unlike the storks that bring power-up orbs. It should be noted that whenever an enemy is killed with the charge shot it won't release any fruit or item, so killing the white chicken this way will not give you the little dragon-option.
Being visually impressive is Coryoon's best trait, with color schemes that change constantly throughout several standard motifs for stages (forest, castle, fire, water, caves, etc.). Baby dragon itself is always switching colors according to the weapons he's carrying. The open world of the game lends itself to a fast paced journey where the screen is almost always full of stuff flying around. Besides having to deal with fruits falling everywhere, players can be easily confused by dying enemies that vanish in distracting explosions. It takes a little while to grasp what's going on and fully understand how all extra items work (I beat the game on my first try and didn't even get to understand the meaning of all items). Card suits appear after you destroy a certain number of enemies, but you can never guess exactly when or where they will materialize. Consequently it's pretty common to accidentally switch to a different suit. Losing clubs made me upset because the fruit-sucking ability is easily the coolest thing about the game. Out of sheer pride I'd rather die than pick up another card suit (dying strips you off every power and item you're carrying).
A quick sample of Coryoon's intro and gameplay
(courtesy of YouTube user EnciclopediaLusa)
While Coryoon boasts lovely artwork and implements neat gameplay details, such as giving points for shots landed on bosses, extra bonuses for every surplus items you collect and a very brief invincibility window every time you take a power-up (useful to escape incoming attacks), it disappoints by not imposing timeouts on bosses. You can theoretically counterstop the game by milking fruit from their attacks, which hurts the experience for those who enjoy chasing higher scores. Had it had time-limited boss fights and less extends Coryoon would certainly be one of the best PC Engine shmups out there. Just for the sake of comparison, it looks and plays better than Air Zonk, only losing in the soundtrack department. The music doesn't hurt but doesn't stand out either, with no memorable tunes whatsoever. Baby dragon has a healthy array of voices though, and he really seems to like pineapple!
Caravan lovers will appreciate the fact that the game has additional 2-minute and 5-minute score attack modes (press SELECT at the start screen to cycle through all options available in the menu). Secret codes can be input at the sound test to gain access to other game variations, such as an option with black & white graphics and a no-fruit mode.
Once the game is beaten the credits roll and halt at an ending screen, but resetting the console (SELECT + START) adds to your score a final bonus of 2 million points for each remaining life. Assuming the result surpasses the highest score that's displayed in every screen that doesn't belong to the credit you're playing, it will replace it and be saved for eternity as long as the internal battery of the console doesn't die. Here's my final result:

Is a nice game, I think is indicated to newbie shmuppers.
Edward January 28, 2013 at 6:39 PM

192nd Wing Airmen stand ready, adapt to COVID-19 as JBLE flying mission continues
By Tech. Sgt. Lucretia Cunningham, 192nd Wing Public Affairs / Published April 14, 2020
Airmen assigned to the 192nd Fighter Wing recover F-22 fighter jets following their return from Ohio Sept. 16, 2018, at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia. The jets were sent away several days earlier due to the threat of Hurricane Florence. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Johnisa Roberts)
Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va. --
Approximately 20 Virginia National Guard Airmen assigned to the 192nd Wing at Joint Base Langley-Eustis are supporting Virginia's COVID-19 response as of April 6, 2020. Airmen also continue to work with their 1st Fighter Wing active-duty counterparts to slow the virus's spread while continuing daily operations to launch, receive and maintain the F-22 Raptor fleet.
"It is definitely a challenge to maintain mission readiness during this pandemic. So in addition to maximizing social distancing and other protective measures, we have maximize remote operations and other telework options to mitigate the risks to our airmen. Throughout it all, our Airmen have shown amazing flexibility and resilience. I'm extremely proud of their efforts," said Col. Mark D. Piper, 192nd Wing commander. "Our forces at JBLE are unique in that they're completely integrated to support the federal mission. This is what we do! As Guardsmen, we are trained to support both state and federal missions, especially during times of crisis."
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam declared a state of emergency in early March which activated the Virginia National Guard to support COVID-19 response efforts. The Airmen from the 192nd Wing are contributing to the larger VNG's effort to assist the Virginia Emergency Support Team with operations, logistics and medical planning. Readiness for both the state and federal missions are priority as the VNG is postured to bring additional personnel on duty subject to the needs of the Commonwealth.
When Tech. Sgt. Robert McCormick comes home after his shift at the 94th Aircraft Maintenance Unit, he walks in through the garage and then the laundry room where he can take off his boots and immediately throw his uniform into the washer. It's the new reality for Airmen, who like McCormick, are mission-critical during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a full-time flightline expediter with the Virginia Air National Guard's 192nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, it's up to supervisors like McCormick to ensure Airmen are adhering to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
"We're keeping groups out of the trucks we drive up and down the flightline," said McCormick. "During launches, you'll have the expediter in the driver seat and a 7-level [crew chief] in the back seat to maintain distance."
McCormick added, the 94th AMU has also transitioned to a single-point entry where one person, selected during each shift, sits with hand sanitizer and ensures high traffic areas like countertops and door handles are cleaned with a disinfectant solution several times an hour. More than 60 VaANG Airmen are totally integrated with their active duty counterparts at the 94th where they've also gone to working bi-weekly schedules as a means to decrease the number of people coming into the building every day.
The alternative schedule is also beneficial at the 27th Fighter Squadron, located further down the flightline. Senior Master Sgt. Mark Gilligan is the 192nd Maintenance Squadron Munitions Flight superintendent and said working one week at a time provides continuity for four VaANG Airmen who are continuing mission-essential skills training after returning from technical school.
"When [the trainees] are here in person, they're doing their hands-on technical training," said Gilligan. "Then, when they're remote, they're concentrating on their career development courses, computer-based training, an//d any certifications they might need specific to our Air Force specialty code."
Although in-person regularly scheduled drill had been prohibited for the wing for April and May, Gilligan's flight was among those who performed drill remotely. Facilitated by a dedicated training manager, the flight's drill-status Guardsmen were able to accomplish ancillary training over the weekend and maintained 100 percent readiness.
The 192nd Wing's Director of Psychological Health, Judy Crow, is also taking steps to ensure members' medical readiness during a time she said could be a source for increased stress and anxiety in most people.
"For each person, the pandemic is affecting them differently," Crow explained. "It can affect their job, their financial readiness...and then, their mental health because there's a lot of unknown."
In addition to continuing physical health assessment questionnaire screenings, Crow has partnered with the Airman and Family Readiness Program to create a guide to specific resources and has recently been authorized the option for military members to access her services through telehealth, or counseling appointments over video chat.
While parents are working remotely and homeschooling their children, and single Airmen have to work harder to stay connected to others, Crow said she's encouraging military members to focus on the things within their control.
"Very few of us like to live with uncertainty, so we have to focus on those things we can do to keep ourselves mentally and physically healthy," she said. "I'm here for any military member to call -- and it doesn't need to be a big deal. Sometimes you just need to call for some support."

Top Reasons Why Mainers Should Oppose Tort Reform, H.R. 1215
Let Congress know that Maine trials should be decided by Maine juries, not D.C. politicians and lobbyists. Contact our representatives today and say no to H.R. 1215!

If you've been harmed by an unsafe medication, a preventable hospital error, or a doctor's negligence, you have a constitutional right to have your day in court. You have the right for a jury of your peers to decide what fair compensation should be.
The insurance and healthcare industries want to take those rights away from you, to line their own pockets.
Their latest effort is H.R. 1215, a bill sponsored by Congressman Steve King of Iowa, that is pending before the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. The bill would limit how much a patient can receive for a medical negligence claim, no matter how badly the patient was hurt, or how severe the negligence was. It would put the federal government in charge of a system that has been handled by individual states and local juries for more than 200 years. It would benefit large corporations, while taking rights away from regular Maine people and families.
We believe local juries — not Washington lobbyists or politicians — should decide what compensation is fair for injured Mainers. If you agree, please help us spread the word, and contact your Representatives and Senators today and urge them to reject this bill. Time is of the essence! H.R. 1215 is expected to go to a vote in the House this month. If passed, it would go to the Senate.
Here are nine reasons why Mainers should stand up against H.R. 1215.
1. It takes away constitutional rights to a trial by jury
The bill includes a federal government mandate setting a price on a person's life. It puts a $250,000 cap on "non-economic damages" in a lawsuit for medical negligence. Those are damages not related to a person's medical bills, lost wages, or earning potential. Non-economic damages compensate for injuries such as pain and suffering, loss of a body part like an arm or a leg, loss of enjoyment of life, or loss of a child or spouse.
Right now, a jury of local people decides how much to compensate for those damages. That is part of the guarantee of the 7th Amendment. Some members of Congress want to take that right away, and let special interests decide how much people should be compensated by setting a cap on damages.
Local juries – not Washington lobbyists or politicians – should decide what compensation is fair for injured Mainers.
What this means for you: If H.R. 1215 becomes law, the federal government would decide how much you can receive in a medical malpractice lawsuit, rather than a local jury.
2. It won't lower the cost of healthcare
Why is H.R. 1215 being introduced now? Backers say it's because frivolous lawsuits, and the fear of being sued, are major drivers behind skyrocketing healthcare costs. But there is no evidence to support those claims.
Less than one percent of healthcare spending in the U.S. is due to costs related to medical malpractice claims, according to recent studies. Backers of the bill claim it will make malpractice insurance premiums less expensive for doctors and hospitals. States that passed similar bills in the past, however, found out the hard way that insurance companies don't follow that playbook.
After California introduced a $250,000 cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases in 1975, insurance premiums rose 450% over the next 13 years, faster than the national average. Florida, Ohio, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Nevada, Washington, and Texas all saw insurers demand rate hikes after similar legislation was passed in those states.[1]
What this means for you: Your health insurance costs will probably not go down, and could even increase because of this bill.
3. Maine already has a good system — don't federalize it
Maine does not have a problem with meritless lawsuits. Injured patients must present their case to a screening panel before filing a claim. The opinions of the panel members, including a doctor or other medical provider, have a significant effect on whether the injured patient can proceed with the case. This system has been in place since the 1980's and has decreased the number of claims filed against medical providers. According to one estimate, only 65 claims were filed in 2016, down from about 100 claims filed five years ago.
There is nothing wrong with Maine's system for handling claims against medical providers. Washington, D.C. shouldn't be allowed to 'fix' our system by taking away the rights of Maine people.
What this means for you: You would be restricted by a new federal system, rather than our state system that does not need fixing.
4. It would make healthcare providers less accountable
Preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States, after only heart disease and cancer.[2]
Legal claims against medical providers make health care safer for all patients, by focusing on the providers who choose to ignore patient safety. Such lawsuits are a market-based solution for addressing patient safety. They are preferable to government regulation, because they impose damages only on bad actors, rather than imposing costs on an entire industry. H.R. 1215 would make the healthcare industry less accountable.
What this means for you: H.R. 1215 could lower the quality of health care you receive.
5. It would put patients in Maine's rural communities at risk
The bill would likely make health care less safe for Mainers who live in rural areas already suffering from a shortage of qualified doctors, and limited access to hospitals and nursing homes. When a hospital knows the most it will ever pay in non-economic damages for a doctor's careless mistake is $250,000, it will look the other way when dangerous doctors make the same mistakes over and over It will be easier for the hospital to pay this relatively small sum than to spend time and money recruiting a qualified doctor.
After Texas adopted a similar $250,000 cap in medical malpractice claims, the number of doctors treating patients in rural areas actually fell and health insurance became more expensive.[3]
What this means for you: If you live in a rural area, the quality of your health care could decline compared to people in cities.
6. It discriminates based on employment and social status
H.R. 1215 would unfairly limit compensation for people like retirees and children, who are not in the workforce, or people who work in lower-paying jobs. A retired nurse who is trapped at home with a brain injury caused by medical malpractice could recover no more than $250,000 in "non-economic damages," while a well-paid engineer who can no longer work due to a brain injury could recover millions of dollars in "economic damages" for the same type of injury.
What this means for you: If you are a young person, retired, a low-income worker, or a stay-at-home parent, it will be much more difficult for you to obtain fair compensation for a medical injury.
7. It imposes unreasonable federal rules on lawsuits in Maine
In Maine, people have three years after the date of medical malpractice to bring a claim against the medical provider. The Maine Legislature created that deadline to balance the rights of injured patients with the rights of medical providers. H.R. 1215 would allow the federal government to shrink that deadline to one year in most cases.
The bill also would prevent a patient harmed by a dangerous drug from bringing a claim against her doctor, even if the doctor failed to meet basic safety standards in deciding to prescribe the drug. Instead, the federal government would force injured patients to bring a lawsuit against the drugmaker, forcing the claim into federal court, often in another state where the claim is joined with other claims in a "mass tort" lawsuit.
What this means for you: You would only have one year in most cases — instead of three years — to bring a claim against a negligent doctor, hospital, or other healthcare provider.
8. Even when patients win, they can still lose
The bill would take away States' rights to choose how to compensate people harmed by preventable medical errors. When a Maine jury decides that two or more medical providers are responsible for needlessly harming a patient, and one of those medical providers has no assets and no insurance, the other medical providers must chip in to make sure the injured person receives fair compensation. The Maine Legislature created that rule because if someone has to pay extra in that situation, it is more fair that a wrongdoer who has been held accountable by a jury pays extra, rather than an innocent patient who did nothing wrong.
What this means for you: As a patient harmed by malpractice, you could be forced to pay for the consequences of the error.
9. It would line the pockets of insurance companies
This bill also changes the way a jury of Maine residents compensates someone injured by medical negligence. The jury might award an injured person a sum of money to be paid at once, but Congress wants to force the injured person to receive the money in installments over many years. The insurance companies will keep the money in their pockets longer, earning interest on it, instead of allowing the injured person to make use of it, for instance to pay for nursing care, make a home or car handicapped accessible, or earn interest.
What this means for you: If a jury awards you compensation for a medical injury, insurance companies could earn interest on your money.

Abstract: There is a well-known analogy between statistical and quantum mechanics. In statistical mechanics, Boltzmann realized that the probability for a system in thermal equilibrium to occupy a given state is proportional to exp(-E/kT) where E is the energy of that state. In quantum mechanics, Feynman realized that the amplitude for a system to undergo a given history is proportional to exp(-S/i hbar) where S is the action of that history. In statistical mechanics we can recover Boltzmann's formula by maximizing entropy subject to a constraint on the expected energy. This raises the question: what is the quantum mechanical analogue of entropy? We give a formula for this quantity, which we call "quantropy". We recover Feynman's formula from assuming that histories have complex amplitudes, that these amplitudes sum to one, and that the amplitudes give a stationary point of quantropy subject to a constraint on the expected action. Alternatively, we can assume the amplitudes sum to one and that they give a stationary point of a quantity we call "free action", which is analogous to free energy in statistical mechanics. We compute the quantropy, expected action and free action for a free particle, and draw some conclusions from the results.

Q: appending the items into the combo box I need to add the item in a combo box for a particular number of times.This is my code.
         for(i=0;i<3;i++)
    {
         othercompaniesli.innerHTML=  '<select onchange="document.location.href = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;"><option VALUE="http://www.google.com">'+fStr1[0]+'</option>  </select>';
     }

Here I want to add the fStr1 string 3 times.But it adds only one time.That is the for loop is working but only item value is not appending.Only last value is added in the combo box. Can anyone help me how to append the items into combo box.

A: var tmpStr = '<select onchange="document.location.href = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">';

for(i=0;i<3;i++)
{
    tmpStr+=  '<option VALUE="http://www.google.com">'+fStr1[0]+'</option>  ';
}

tmpStr = '</select>';

othercompaniesli.innerHTML = tmpStr;

A: try othercompaniesli.innerHTML +=.

A: Since you are using equal to =, it is re-assigning to the same element
Use append()
$('#othercompaniesli').append('<select onchange="document.location.href = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;"><option VALUE="http://www.google.com">'+fStr1[0]+'</option>  </select>');

Note that your select and option elements are repeating, you need to change it accordingly.

A: var select= $('mySelect');
var opt = new Option("OptionTitle", "123");

select.selectedIndex = InsertNewOption(opt, select[0]);

function InsertNewOption(opt, element)
{
    var len = element.options.length;
    element.options[optsLen] = opt;

    return len;
}

A: Place select tag out of loop

var selectTag = '<select onchange="document.location.href = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">';
for(i=0;i<3;i++) {
 selectTag +=  '<option VALUE="http://www.google.com">'+fStr1[0]+'</option>';
}
selectTag +="</select>"
othercompaniesli.innerHTML = selectTag;

A: What you are doing is the inside the loop you are ending your select tag , so every element will have it own select opening and closing tag. and you are just updating your innerHTML with the newer element thats why its getting the last element.
 var openingTag= '<select onchange="document.location.href = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">';

for(i=0;i<3;i++)
{
    openingTag+=  '<option VALUE="http://www.google.com">'+fStr1[0]+'</option>  ';
}

openingTag= '</select>';

othercompaniesli.innerHTML = openingTag;

Bill Maher Show and Intolerant Atheists
Bill Maher may hold strange views, but one thing we admire him for—he'll state his views straight out, without any attempt to sugar coat it or show tact (at least he's honest and proudly proclaims his views, in contrast to others who attempt to hide it. He's consistent in his atheist far-left elitist views). Recently on his show atheist S.E. Cupp appeared, whose latest book titled "Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity" created some interesting discussion, and displayed the paradox of atheism.
That show generated the following response from one of S.E.'s fellow atheists.
Religious people are deluded, regardless of whether they're good or bad people.
Religion is often bad in and of itself, even without people doing bad things in the name of it.
Teaching ignorance (via Creationism) is a form of child abuse, whether it's done with the best of intentions or not.
Atheists generally hold themselves up as defenders of tolerance, masters of free-thinking and logic, free from all bias and dogma they associate with religion. Yet notice the assumptions from someone likely considering themselves a free-thinker:
God doesn't exist ("Religious people are deluded"), in other words atheism is a fact by his personal fiat. Of course atheism is illogical, so this point by itself displays a lack of logic and critical thinking.
Religion is bad in and of itself, apart from any actions. That displays a clear bias and a lack of free-thinking as ideas are already assumed good or bad apart from any proof or logical analysis. Who gets to make these fiat rules? What makes this person the arbiter of things good and bad? As atheism has no basis for morality according to Dawkins, those kind of absolute moral statements are quite bizarre; without any absolute standards (as Dawkins noted), nothing can be stated as good or bad.
Evolution is true by fiat without any scientific base behind it. We've written much on evolution, and consider evolution's case closed as it has no experimental scientific evidence for its foundations. It's taken on faith, without proof. You're free to believe in the philosophy of evolution and the beginnings of the universe if you wish ("first there was nothing, and then it exploded; from the goo to the zoo to you"), but it's not science.
Another "tolerant free thinking atheist"—the very definition of oxymoron (self-contradicting phrase).
People are free to believe whatever they want, but it's rather bizarre (and illogical) to hold yourself up as a beacon of free-thinking, tolerance, and logic, while promoting such absurdly illogical views that don't stand the smallest scrutiny (atheism), displaying intolerance toward others (religion is bad in and of itself) and attempting to proclaim absolute morality while simultaneously denying it exists, and even attempting to silence and censor opposing views you don't believe in (teaching alternative theories is child abuse).
That's not very tolerant, free thinking, or logical—it's too bad atheists miss the irony of their illogical position.

Samsung May Become Major Processor Supplier for Apple in 2015: Research
February 2, 2015 Jimmy Chuang
An anonymous U.S.-based brokerage said on Feb. 2 that Samsung (KRX: 005930) will become the major supplier for the processors for Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) next-generation iPhone series in 2015.
The latest research by the brokerage said that Apple is trying to diversify its foundry suppliers since 2015, now that it had previously partnered with only one foundry for each generation of processors, including with Samsung for the 32-nm and 28-nm processes, and with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC)(TPE: 2330) for the 20-nm process.
The brokerage firm's name cannot be revealed under new rules by Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission now that the firm's latest research report offers specific forecasts that may impact the market.
The brokerage firm said that with broader offerings in the pipeline such as a larger iPad and a low-end iPhone, it seemed to be clear that Apple will have a much more diverse semiconductor portfolio.
"Our view is going forward, with so many more products, it becomes easier for Apple to use multiple foundries, and to split manufacturing by products," the brokerage said.
Given Samsung's bullish outlook on its 14-nm process and TSMC's guidance that the 16-nm process will only make a single-digit contribution to its revenues by the end of 2015, Samsung will likely get the orders for new iPhone chips in 2015, the brokerage said in its research report.
The report predicted that that TSMC will continue producing the A8 chips used in the current iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models in the first half of 2015. The report said that TSMC could also make the 20-nm chip for a low-end iPhone and a 16-nm chip for a high-end iPad in the second half of the year.
The brokerage's latest research report estimated that TSMC's revenues from Apple will grow from 6.5% of total sales in 2014 to 9.6% in 2015. For the second half of this year, the report said, TSMC's revenues from Apple are expected to drop by around 40% from the same period a year earlier, assuming that Apple switches to Samsung for the new iPhone chips.
