The Human Experience

catholicism, evangelisation, faith, the human experience
If you know of any non-Catholics free and in London tomorrow evening, why not bring them down to Balham for a viewing of The Human Experience? The film will be shown at 8pm in Visitation House, Nightingale Square, SW12, and there'll be a chance to discuss things afterwards.
A Larger Room
Anglicanism, anglo-catholic, catholic league, catholicism, ordinariate, unity
Do you ever get the feeling that you're being gently mocked? During his homily at my first Mass, Fr Stephen quoted a little phrase I'd used to describe the journey from Anglicanism to the full communion of the Catholic Church. When I preached on the Ordinariate during my first few weeks in the parish, I described it as 'moving from the gatehouse to the manor house'. I know…
However – despite the ribbing – I do think it's a pretty decent analogy: moving into the fullness of Catholic Communion, away from the fringes and the partiality of that unique bond between the baptised and the Church, and coming into the full splendour of the unbroken Catholic tradition, with all the rich cultural, liturgical and theological patrimony which that involves.
Last week the Catholic League published the complete special edition of the Messenger, a journal which was released to celebrate the announcement and development of the Personal Ordinariate. It is full of great articles, all of which can now be read freely here. Copies are free to a good home, so if you want a hard copy you can still get them from the Catholic League directly.
Amongst the excellent pieces (some critical, some full of hope – this was before January 2011), is the sermon given by a good friend and mentor on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the foundation of Pusey House, Oxford. The title of the sermon is The Sinews of Behemoth, taken from Job 40:17 (The sinews of Behemoth's testicles are tightly constricted), and I apologise to anyone who's already familiar with the content.
With his typical amusing tone and wit ("Which leads me inexorably back to Behemoth's testicles…") the preacher negotiates the history of the Anglo-Catholic movement which found space to flourish to fantastically in many of those Oxford institutions: St Stephen's House, Pusey House, the Cowley Dads, the All Saints' Sisters of the Poor, and Fairacres.
Read the whole piece. It is, though, the rather stark challenge of the final paragraph which I tentatively reproduce here – as much to confirm my own sense of what the whole Ordinariate-Project is about, as challenge those who might be reading from another shore:
Pope S. Gregory the Great in his great commentary on the book of Job known to us as the Moralia, took this verse [Ed: The sinews of Behemoth's testicles are tightly constricted] as a type of the perplexed conscience – the constriction of the sinews being the sign of the entangled nature of the moral choices which confront us. You do not need me to tell you that Catholic Anglicans are in a place of acute perplexity at this time. Our mission, the mission of this House and of all those who have served the Movement since its inception, is founded on a confidence that we have an authentic ecclesial mandate grounded in Scripture and Tradition, and sacramental assurance in the ministrations which arise from that mandate. We must be frank when we admit that the great majority of the Churches who name themselves catholic in faith, order and practice have always seen this in us as more a matter of assertion than fact. But for us it has not seemed to be a house built on sand. S. Gregory tells us that if we are hemmed in and held captive, then the best rule is to jump off where the wall is lowest – the shortest fall makes for the softest landing. If we are not to be entirely strangled by our perplexity we are going to have to learn to jump, because the basis on which we have carried out our mission in recent years – the doctrine of a Church of England with two integrities – is coming to an end. Blessed Pius IX told Dr Pusey that he was like a bell summoning people to church but never entering it himself; might we not hope for a better future in a larger room for Pusey House?
Might we not hope for a better future for the whole Anglo-Catholic project? Is not the wall at an unprecedented low point? Is not the landing as soft as we could ever, really, hope? I believe so. Pope Pius IX's analogy of Pusey is as sad as it is amusing – do we truly want that for ourselves? I suspect not. As someone said just before I was received – the future's bright; the future's yellow and white.
A Little Different
29 Sunday Apr 2012
Benedict XVI, discernment, ministry, ordination, priesthood, vocation
My first Sunday as a Priest without the aid of 20 servers, 2 deacons, 4 concelebrants, an assistant Priest MC, a polyphonic choir, a plainchant schola, a dulcian, 2 baroque guitars, and nearly 500 in the congregation. A little different? Yes. Downer? Certainly not.
This morning I celebrated the Solemn Mass and preached on the importance of supporting vocations work. We have such a great focus on vocations to the Sacred Priesthood in this parish that it's difficult to know how to improve on things. My challenge was this: if we can think of something we'd rather our son/grandson/nephew did, other than be a Priest of Jesus Christ, then we need to think again about the importance of the Sacred Priesthood, and to engage more strongly with the image of Christ the Good Shepherd who willingly lays down his life for his sheep.
After Mass one mother told me I had to keep working on her sons – she clearly wants a Priest in the family: great! But it must be hard for a parent to hold an ideal which runs so contrary to what society expects. The world wants us to marry, to be successful, to earn money, to have our own house, to have independence. Christ wants more: he wants everything we have, everything we are, set apart. Set apart for what? The plebs sancta Dei, the Holy People of God, whom he calls his priests to serve without limits, searching out the lost and gathering all into the safety of sheepfold.
Sure, not everyone is called to the Ministerial Priesthood, but our baptism does call us all to give ourselves entirely the vocation Christ gives each one of us, and that supernatural fulfilment must genuinely be the desire of Christian families before we can regain a proper sense of what Scott Hahn calls 'the glory of the priesthood'.
If you haven't read the Holy Father's message for the World Day of Vocations (which we celebrate today), you can read it here. You can also read his homily from the Ordination Mass he celebrated this morning in Rome and there's a short video of the event here.
The New Areopagus
apologetics, catechesis, catholicism, evangelisation, formation, fr robert barron
From January 2012 until last month we ran Fr Robert Barron's Catholicism as a series-based course of process evangelisation and catechesis at the Centre for Catholic Formation in Tooting Bec. Headed up by our parish Catechetical Co-ordinator, Hannah Vaughan-Spruce, almost 100 people attended the course, which was hosted on Thursday evenings.
At the end of the course we were thrilled that a number of people asked to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church, to be baptised, and/or to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Those people will now undergo some further formation in preparation for that wonderful act of Christian Initiation, or sign of their call to continuing conversion.
Next week Fr Robert Barron will be visiting London. He's already in the UK, having spoken in Durham this week and he will be speaking at the LACE Conference Centre in Liverpool on Tuesday evening (1 May). On Thursday he will be giving a lecture at Heythrop College, University of London, and on Friday there will be a screening of Catholicism followed by a reception and dinner at St Patrick's, Soho Square, where my ordination was hosted last Saturday.
I will certainly be heading to Soho Square, and I hope very much to be able to make the lecture at Heythrop. If you are in or around London in the next week, then do make the effort to try and attend. You can get more details here.
Fr Barron has a particular style, and a particular approach to explaining the faith. Someone described him to me as having a "geeky enthusiasm" – and you can tell that he fervently believes in the 'product' he is 'selling'. The series is beautifully produced, with broad camera angles, well-produced music with plainchant themes woven through, and snappy, memorable messages which reveal and point towards the fundamental, profound truths of Christianity.
I want to write more about the course in the future – I think there's a great deal to say. If you have the opportunity to attend it, do, and if you want to find out more about running the course, why not come along to the Discovery Session that we are running on 26 May in Tooting Bec? In the meantime I want to offer a general thought on contemporary apologetics.
In the Acts of the Apostles, St Paul visits Athens and, specifically, the Areopagus – by that time a place used to honour an unknown pagan god. Here he engages in Christian apologetics, engaging with the world-view and presenting Christian message in a public, potentially hostile forum. That apostolic example of apologetic evangelisation has got to find roots in us if we are to similarly engage in the contemporary world, where the unseen god of consumerism is slavishly followed by so many. Fr Barron does that well through his online ministry of teaching – coming to the new Areopagus, the internet: the very place where consumerism can often reach it's zenith.
St Paul didn't convert the crowd when he addressed them, but we are told that "some men joined him and believed" (Acts 17:34). That's a pretty good place to start.
The Catholc View
Anglicanism, authority, Benedict XVI, communio, priesthood, teaching
Yesterday morning I was visited by a French journalist from Pèlerin, a weekly Catholic magazine. I wasn't expecting the visit, but Gwénola de Coutard (@gdecoutard), the journaliste, is in the UK to write a feature on women clergy in the Church of England and she wanted the view of someone who had become a Catholic as a result of such developments within Anglicanism.
Two alarms bells rang in my mind – first, do I really want to get into the ins and outs of becoming a Catholic again, just to have things skewed into a frenzy of words like 'bigot', 'misogynist', and 'defector' and, secondly, do I really want to speak to a Catholic magazine that wants to write a feature on women priests. But all of these concerns were laid aside when we started talking, and I realised very quickly that actually what was wanted was an apologetic defence of the Church's teaching on the Priesthood, and an explanation that the ordination of women was not – is not – in itself a reason to become a Catholic, but rather represents a symptom of a wider question of authority outside the Catholic Church. So we talked.
When I was preparing to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church just last year, I knew that it would be exhilarating to be in communion with well over a billion people. I knew that visible communion with the Successor of St Peter, with the bishops, and with those great figures of sanctity whose writings had lined my walls for years, would be immense. And I have not been disappointed. But beyond that I have experienced a profound and genuine sense of peace – a peace which comes from letting-go of individual opinion and debate, and resting in the safe assurance of the Church's teaching.
After the election of Pope Benedict XVI, Jeremy Paxman interviewed Cristina Odone and the-then-Fr Patrick Burke on Newsnight. In the interview Mgr Burke, who was a student of Cardinal Ratzinger and now works in the CDF, paraphrased a line that is often quoted from Ratzinger's own writings – "The Truth of Jesus Christ is not measured by public opinion".
For those of us used to tackling the biannual wave of General Synod votes, such a line rings very true. But, more than that, it reminds us that it is not our individual decisions to assent or dissent from Church teaching – in relation to the nature of the Eucharist, or the Priesthood, or Marriage, or any other area of faith, morals, and doctrine – that makes something true or false. Rather, that relates to our own relationship with the Church. And if we believe that Christ is truly present in the Church, that the Church is the Body of Christ on earth, then those decisions impact on our relationship with the Lord also.
We can't hold the faith in isolation, not just because we need and desire communion with the Church, but because an individualistic faith where we decide on the rights and wrongs of doctrine, isn't one which is Holy, Catholic or Apostolic. We don't claim to be guardians of 'natural religious instincts' loosely basing our lives on a man-made moral code (see Fr Stephen Wang's post on this here), but the mystical body of Christ, living and witnessing to his truth in a world where man-made moral codes come, change, and disappear to suit the age.
I'll be interested to see what Gwénola writes. I know she's hoping to speak to the Bishop of Ebbsfleet too, but if I'm honest it won't keep me up at night worrying, because if there's one thing I've grown to know and appreciate more than anything else, it's that there's no 'I' in Catholic.
Birth of a Book
I know at least one Priest who has admitted to me that he tears the relevant pages out of a book to carry them on the train. If this doesn't convince you that a book is a beautiful thing which needs to be treated well, nothing will.

You Are Called
discernment, invocation, priesthood, vocation, vocationcast
Each one of us has a vocation – a unique call given to us by the Lord. It is our duty, our honour, our privilege to respond. This year why not come along to Invocation 2012 – a national vocations discernment festival? God may be calling you to the silence of the cloister, or the beauty of family life; he may be asking you to give your life to him in the single life, or he may be summoning you to serve as a Priest of Jesus Christ. With hundreds of others, come and give yourself the space to hear his still small voice. God is calling you to some definite service: do not silence him. Listen to the latest Vocationcast, which reflects on the forthcoming Invocation 2012.
Many Are Called
fatherhood, ministry, ontology, ordination, priesthood, scott hahn
During my ordination retreat I was able to catch up on a pile of books that have been sitting on my shelves waiting to be opened. Amongst these was a short volume by the American author and former Presbyterian minister, now Catholic layman, Scott Hahn. Anglicans have had little exposure (in my experience) to Hahn's work, but I'm surrounded by people who rate him highly, so I was keen to see what he had to say.
The first thing is that, because he himself had been in active ministry within Presbyterianism, he understands the concept of ministry. He understands that the minister (Priest, sure, but we'll get to that) has a job to do and that he does in fact have a function to perform. The beauty of Catholic teaching regarding the ontological nature of the Sacrament of Orders allows us to talk about function as a result of being. I am a Priest, therefore I need to be priestly. We shouldn't be afraid to speak of function, but only when it is linked to this fundamental understanding of the Priest as new creation: a consecrated being set apart to minister as a sacrificing Priest of the New Covenant.
Hahn also recognises that, in terms of apologetics, we need to rediscover the glory of the Priesthood – in fact, this is the subtitle of the work. That glory, he says, comes fundamentally from the awesome fact that the Priesthood is apostolic, but also rooted in the understanding of humanity and of priesthood in the Old Testament. When we see this, when we see that the Christian Priest is truly secundum ordinem Melchisedech, we realise the historical significance of each priestly ordination, of each sacerdotal action.
Above all, though, Hahn's understanding of the Priesthood is drawn from his own fatherhood. Together with his wife, Kimberley, the Hahns have six children, and this enables him to see the limitless paternal imagery in the Catholic Priest. It is a masculine vocation – not just in the sense of being for men (though it is), or that it's about what some people describe as 'muscular Christianity', but in the sense of it being the full realisation of the potential fatherhood which is innate in all men.
What do I mean by this? Hahn explains that '[i]n the priest, we come to see fatherhood that goes beyond the biological dimension'. In other words, we see a supernatural fatherhood in which the Priest embodies, in a particular way, the fullness of fatherhood which is found in the relationship of God the Father with God the Son, caught up in the mystical union of the Most Holy Trinity. The Priest is the image of God the Father to himself, as he stands in persona Christi to Christ's faithful people in the Church.
Fr Andrew Apostoli's book, When God asks for an undivided heart, deals with similar considerations, but it is Hahn's language of the fatherhood of the Priest which enables us to see that, through the gift of celibacy – which each day I grow to understand and appreciate more – the Christian Priest doesn't 'give up' being a father, but rather embodies a perfect fatherhood which was shown to us by the perfect father-son relationship of the Holy Trinity, and – in a human sense – shown in the gentle fostering of the Christ child by St Joseph.
Scott Hahn's book Many Are Called: Rediscovering the Glory of the Priesthood is available on Amazon.
church, john henry newman, pope benedict, religion, theology
The first post on any new blog is supposed to be significant. It's supposed to set the tone, and the scene, and the pace which readers (should there be any) can expect from the author. The first post has to mark something – an event or a thing – from which everything else that is written on the blog takes the cue.
Three days ago, on Saturday 21 April 2012, my life was changed forever in the church of St Patrick, Soho Square, when, at the hands of a successor of the apostles I was conformed in a new way to the life of Jesus Christ. In a new way, I am his servant: what Pope Benedict called "a simple and humble labourer in the vineyard of the Lord". In taking on this life, in taking on his life, it is not James Bradley that matters – no longer me, but him. I am now a Priest of Jesus Christ. In the homily at the ordination, we were reminded of a poem of George Herbert (1593-1633) – Aaron. It is a reflection on the personification of Christ in the life of the Priest, and it is that conforming to the will of the Father, through living the life of the Son, in and through the grace of the Holy Spirit, to which I now turn.
On the Thanksgiving Card distributed at my ordination and first Mass, I had some words of Blessed John Henry Newman printed. These words, like Herbert's poem, pick up on that – what St Paul talks of as putting on the new man (Colossians 3:10), and I offer them here as a preface to everything that I undertake to do a his Priest, in his name: "Shine through me and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me, but only Jesus!".
Let them look up and see no longer me, but only Jesus.
The other part of the first blog post has to be to explain the title of the blog. The words come from a nineteenth century hymn by William Bright (1824-1901), the first line of which is And now, O Father, mindful of the love. In the final verse, we find these words which, again, speak of the conformity of the Priest to the life of God the Son: In thine own service make us glad and free, and grant us never more to part with thee.
It is my hope and prayer that, in some small way, these thoughts and writings might enable that conformity to take place in my own life, and in the lives of those who read them.

Japan across the decades
There were times in the late 1970s and 1980s when Japan dominated entire editions of Euromoney. We have seen it rise, fall and stagnate, with plenty of banking adventures and misadventures along the way. Here are some of the highlights of our 50 years of coverage.
Euromoney survey of Japan (March 1971)
Eighteen months after our 1969 launch, our first cover story on Asia is a survey of Japan. Our opening question to the finance ministry asks why economic growth should be slowed from 13% per year to a mere 10%. That feels a very long time ago now: in 2018, GDP growth was 1.1%, and that was a good year.
The astonishing influence of Bank of Tokyo (January 1979)
"It's probably the most influential private bank in the world." Our two-month investigation into Bank of Tokyo includes an interview with Yusuke Kashiwagi, "the supreme competitor". A few months later, we do the same to the ministry of finance.
"A watershed in Japanese financial history is at hand," we write in August 1976. "Tokyo, hitherto a domestic financial centre, will become a great deal more international. It may take place slowly, the Ministry of Finance may keep the pace down to a crawl, but it will happen"
The bank with two faces (March 1980)
As early as 1980, we were writing about Japanese bank mergers that had yet to bed down. "Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank is still under stress from a remarkable merger nine years ago." And stop us if this sounds familiar, from June 1980: "Nomura's international struggle."
Post-crash property takes a tumble (April 1988)
Euromoney correctly calls the coming collapse in Japanese markets. "The received wisdom is that Tokyo is abrim with confidence. But the real story may be in the less visible – but rather more significant – Tokyo real estate market." The following year this proves to be true, leading to a lost decade in Japan, which you might argue has never really ended.
Japan takes over the IMF (September 1988)
Euromoney predicts a new reality in which the IMF moves to Tokyo as Japan becomes the world's largest bilateral aid donor. It doesn't happen, but more than 30 years later Japan does still lead the Asian Development Bank.
In our February 1978 cover story we announced The Year of the Samurai. "Japanese enthusiasm is again flooding the international capital markets"
The plot that triggered Tokyo's plunge (May 1990)
Our investigation uncovered a remarkable turn of events. "The collapse of the Japanese equity market in 1990 was orchestrated by the country's Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan. The world's two most powerful financial regulatory bodies acted in concert to fabricate a story that they'd fallen out with each other. They figured the Japanese markets would implode if deprived of their unquestioning belief in the coherence of Japanese monetary policy. They figured correctly."
Can Japan change? (February 1994)
"Japan is at a crossroads," we wrote. "If it can bring about a radical overhaul of its economy – by thorough deregulation it can again become the world's most successful economy. If it just muddles through its present difficulties, it faces a future of economic growth lower than in the US and Europe." It's pretty clear which path was taken. Our journalists spoke to 260 senior Japanese executives to draw our conclusions.
In May 1982, we announce "the decade of the conquering yen"
The 2000s and 2010s
Can Japan's megabanks ignore the devil's whisper? (March 2008)
The CEOs of all three of Japan's megabanks were interviewed in this study of the role they could play in a world where European and US banks were in sometimes terminal decline. "Japan's megabanks find themselves in the glow of unaccustomed financial health," we wrote. "But how do they put their new-found advantage to best use? And can they ignore the demons that caused such huge mistakes in the past?"
Nomura's great leap forward (November 2008)
Nomura's takeover of the European and Asian arms of Lehman Brothers made it the world's largest independent investment bank. There was – rightly, as it turned out – doubt about whether Nomura could overcome the cultural clashes involved and become a true global heavyweight in investment banking. The deal was on the cover again, by now under considerable scrutiny, in October 2009.
Japanese banking's greatest hope (October 2018)
Nobuyuki Hirano is the world's most recognized and respected Japanese banker and an articulate voice on the demographic challenges facing Japanese banking and society. He wants MUFG to be the world's most trusted financial institution. It is helped by its stake in Morgan Stanley; saving that bank during the global financial crisis turned out to have a wide range of pay-offs that nobody expected. "Everyone is aware we face an unprecedented challenge."

The Cradle of Forestry Historic Site near Brevard commemorates the beginning of forest conservation in America. On this site in 1898, Dr. Carl Schenck, chief forester for George Vanderbilt's Biltmore Estate, founded the Biltmore Forest School, the first forestry school in the U.S.
The Cradle of Forestry's Forest Discovery Center features interactive exhibits and a 28-minute movie – First in Forestry: Carl Schenck and the Biltmore Forest School – that premiered last year on PBS and was funded in part by a grant from the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area. Visitors can "ride" a fire fighting helicopter simulator over a forest fire, then crawl underground and see the animals that live beneath the forest floor.
Outdoor activities include several guided trails which lead to historical buildings, a 1915 Climax logging locomotive, and an old sawmill.
The Cradle of Forestry offers many summer programs, including the popular Songcatchers' Music Series which showcases traditional Appalachian music in an outdoor amphitheater (Sundays afternoons in July).

Do one thing every day that scares you – Eleanor Roosevelt.
This Christmas I did something a little scary and I'm so glad I did. I knocked on the door of an older couple on our street to wish them a Merry Christmas and give a small gift. It was a little scary because although we have lived on the same street for 10 years we hardly know one another.
In my last post, I wrote about Christmas and how it's not the idealized time of the year for everyone. For some, it's a lonely time made worse by seeing others full of cheer and surrounded by loved ones.
I was also blessed to speak at our church meeting on Christmas Eve. I spoke about the gift of friendship which God has given us through Jesus even though we were and still are undeserving of it. Thing is, Christmas shouldn't be about self-indulgence but about looking outward, reaching out and showing gratitude for what we have. We take from what we have in our lives and share with others and not just those who will pay it back.
So back to my Christmas story. I often see our neighbour walk past our house and sometimes we exchange a few words. I had recently asked about his wife and he shared with me about her and her illness. She has suffered from MS for many years and is housebound. He is her main carer, they have no children or extended family.
He had mentioned that they don't celebrate Christmas yet every year we receive a Christmas card from them. I was a little worried that he might turn me away with my gift but he was clearly happy and touched by my gesture. I was able to meet and say hi to his wife for the first time although she was not able to answer me.
So why have I decided to blog about this? I want to encourage you to reach out – do that thing that scares. For those who are great at it, I'd like you to know that it means a lot to those you touch.
My only regret is that it's taken me this long to reach out to my neighbours who are clearly in need of a little friendship.


Awww, baby Andre is growing fast!
Peter Andre and Emily MacDonagh are edging closer to the birth of their second child together and they've just shown how excited they are in an adorbs new Instagram video.
The pair – who announced that Emily is pregnant again back in May – posted a clip on Tuesday where they unveil the mum-to-be's growing bump and she's looking blooming lovely!
Katie Price ends up next to Peter Andre in an unexpected place!
Pete, 43, and Emily, 27, were also keen to send out an important health message in the footage by encouraging expectant women to get the flu jab.
'This lovely pregnant lady has just had her free NHS flu vaccination,' Pete says in the video as Emily waves at the camera beside him.
Emily's bump might still be small but baby Andre will be growing fast and fans are thrilled to have had a glimpse of her as her due date gets ever closer.
'U r blossoming emily, u & peter r perfect together,' one admirer commented on the clip.
The new addition will be Pete and Emily's second child together following the birth of their daughter Amelia in January 2014.
Pete also has son Junior, 11, and daughter Princess, 9, from his marriage to Katie Price.
Emily recently opened up about her second pregnancy and revealed that it's thankfully been smooth sailing.
She also hailed Pete – who she married in July last year – as 'fantastic… A model dad'.
All together now – awww.

South Bay falls in final seconds to Fort Wayne
By Noah Camarena | December 22, 2018
LAS VEGAS, NV (22 December 2018) – The South Bay Lakers dropped a close game to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, 100-97 (box score), on Saturday afternoon. Alex Caruso scored a team-high 19 points for the Lakers (9-11) and Jemerrio Jones grabbed a double-double off the bench with 10 points and 13 rebounds. Alize Johnson led Fort Wayne (9-8) with 16 points and 22 rebounds.
The Lakers fell behind after one, 29-23, despite a combined 12 points from Andre Ingram and Jones in the first quarter. Johnson and Edmond Sumner combined for 20 points for the Mad Ants in the opening period. Fort Wayne went into the half with a 52-44 lead as Johnson tallied a 10-point, 16-rebound double-double through two quarters. Joel Berry II scored seven points in the second quarter to lead the Lakers.
The Mad Ants extended their lead after three, 78-64, as Sumner scored 11 points in the frame. Justin Harper and Scott Machado combined for 12 points in the third for South Bay. The Lakers erased a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter, behind 15 points in the quarter from Caruso, but could not come out with the win.
Johnson's double-double and a game-high 23 points from Sumner led Fort Wayne to the win. Stephan Hicks grabbed a double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Davon Reed (15 points) and Omari Johnson (10 points) each scored in double digits for the Mad Ants.
Caruso stuffed the box score for South Bay with 19 points, five rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks. Harper provided a spark off the bench with 17 points and eight rebounds, filling in for Johnathan Williams, who left the game in the first quarter after suffering a concussion. Jones finished with 10 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and two steals, while Berry II and Travis Wear each scored 10 points.
South Bay will return home to face the Memphis Hustle on Thursday, December 27 at 7:00pm PT from the UCLA Health Training Center. Tickets for the game are available online or at the UCLA Health Training Center box office (opens 90 minutes prior to tipoff) on the day of the game.

— South Bay Lakers (@SouthBayLakers) December 22, 2018
The NBA G League's South Bay Lakers, the first franchise in G League history to be owned by an NBA team (Los Angeles Lakers), return for its 12th season of competition in 2018-19. The Lakers franchise has established itself as a top producer of NBA-ready talent, totaling 30 NBA Call-Ups and developing 25 Lakers assignment players since the inaugural 2006-07 season. Last season, the Lakers returned to the playoffs for the third year in a row and saw a pair of players receive NBA Call-Ups to the Los Angeles Lakers, including Andre Ingram. The Lakers have claimed three division titles and have twice competed in the NBA G League Finals, most recently in 2015-16.

Glass is the story of three individuals with seemingly remarkable abilities and powers: David Dunn (Bruce Willis), a man who survived a horrific train derailment nearly two decades prior leading to his discovery that he has incredible strength, does not injure easily, and is weakened by water. Elijah Price, aka Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson), a super-intelligent sociopath with brittle bones who set Dunn on his path by orchestrating the crash. And Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy), a person suffering from dissociative identity disorder, where 25 personalities compete for control of the host's body, including "The Beast," an animal-like persona with ferocious and violent tendencies.
In Glass, Dunn—with the help of his son Joseph (Spencer Treat Clark)—has embraced his status as a local vigilante for justice in Philadelphia whose citizens have dubbed him The Overseer. He hunts The Beast, especially after becoming aware of his kidnapping of four cheerleaders who will serve as his meal. Successful, the two battle violently before being interrupted by local police and psychiatrist Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson). Staple firmly believes that the abilities of The Overseer, The Beast, and others are simply delusions of grandeur fabricated within each of their minds. Desperate to prove her theory, she locks up Dunn and Crumb in a mental institution where she's also been keeping Glass.
In terms of appeal, Glass will be divisive and dependent upon where audiences fall within a genre-oriented Venn diagram, and that context is important when considering the remainder of this review. First, Glass is a direct sequel to Split, and a less-direct sequel to Unbreakable. Watchers less familiar with those films will likely be lost in understanding the events of Glass as writer/director M. Night Shyamalan spends little time on exposition or catching people up. Next, Shyamalan's both loves and wants to subvert the deluge of superhero films. This is not unusual for the filmmaker, as one needs to quickly scan his resume to see countless movies that have attempted to toy with assumptions to provide a new perspective on a concept or paradigm.
What works in Glass is James McAvoy, well-constructed action sequences, and closure. The latter two, however, will be under scrupulous debate depending on personal preference. As Crumb, McAvoy is impressive and magnetic. Watching him cycle through multiple personalities in a single take is mesmerizing as his entire composure changes like a magic trick. It won't take long for audiences to know with whom they are suddenly interacting with just due to McAvoy's eyes or the way he holds his hands. Shyamalan has clearly worked with McAvoy to create several distinct and complex individuals that feel robust even within the very limited amount of time spent with each of them.
While McAvoy is a clear delight, Glass takes some risks that some may not appreciate. Shyamalan has always leveraged what is not seen as a method to convey the disposition of a scene. Glass is no different. Sound is a critical element throughout the film, especially during fight sequences where audiences are often given a sense of the brutality through the crunching of bones being pulverized against stone and steel. Shyamalan even goes so far to obscure or blur the choreography, accentuating how a secondary character is likely processing the chaos around them. There's an argument to be made that Shyamalan is being cheap by moving away from the action during the "good parts" and relies too much on close-ups. The counter to this is that Shyamalan seems far more interested in crafting a multifaceted character study rather than an action film.
Unbreakable became a cult classic after its release, with many clamoring for a sequel. Split wasn't so much that, but rather a chapter in the same shared universe. Glass without question concludes those two stories, but the ending will surely infuriate some while getting nods of approval from others. For a movie that markets itself as a "grounded" comic-book film, Shyamalan requests several moments of suspended belief, and it's difficult to ascertain if he his adhering to his own rules at times. Like all of his films, Shyamalan has strong reason and purpose to his narratives, and thus the enjoyment of this newest ride will depend largely on the level of appreciation an audience member has for the not-so-subtle messages the writer/director wishes to share—they are both unique and familiar, which is an intriguing proposition. Those expecting a stereotype hero v. villain romp with Willis squaring off against McAvoy and Jackson will likely be disappointed. But, for better or worse, Shyamalan finishes what he started. Satisfaction with the conclusion will depend largely on expectations.
Glass is an interesting, thoughtful film about comic-book culture and perceptions of what makes an individual different and/or special. It's not heavy, but it is atypical and that may be a detractor for watchers hoping for more popcorn munching during the experience. However, for those who truly enjoyed the mythos of Unbreakable and Split, Glass is a necessary watch.


(HealthDay News) — Emotional intelligence, the capacity to understand and manage personal thoughts and feelings, is associated with self-management abilities and quality of life in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a study published online Oct. 26 in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society.
Roberto P. Benzo, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and colleagues examined the value of emotional intelligence in patients with COPD. Three hundred ten patients with moderate-to-severe COPD completed the Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (a disease-specific quality of life tool), Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, Self-Management Abilities Scale, and Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale. They also completed pulmonary function tests and questionnaires examining personal and health care utilization information.
The researchers observed a significant correlation for emotional intelligence with self-management abilities (P < 0.0001). After adjustment for age, degree of bronchial obstruction, breathlessness, and other significant confounders, emotional intelligence was also associated with all domains of quality of life: dyspnea, fatigue, emotions, and mastery (P < 0.0001).
"Emotional intelligence can be learned and may complement existing rehabilitation efforts and address the current gap that exists in the treatment of emotional components of COPD that are responsible for poorer quality of life and higher health care utilization," the authors write.

Q: Google Test - undefined reference to testing::internal::AssertHelper::AssertHelper I built Google Test from source on Windows 10. Now I'm trying to create an application that uses the library. Building the program with CMake fails for some reason.

I'd appreciate any help, as I'm not a C++ expert.

A: You can incorporate the building of the GTest library (from source) directly into your CMake configuration, as suggested by the official Google documentation: https://github.com/google/googletest/tree/master/googletest#incorporating-into-an-existing-cmake-project.
In other words, create a new file called CMakeLists.txt.in:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.2)

project(googletest-download NONE)

include(ExternalProject)
ExternalProject_Add(googletest
  GIT_REPOSITORY    https://github.com/google/googletest.git
  GIT_TAG           master
  SOURCE_DIR        "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/googletest-src"
  BINARY_DIR        "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/googletest-build"
  CONFIGURE_COMMAND ""
  BUILD_COMMAND     ""
  INSTALL_COMMAND   ""
  TEST_COMMAND      ""
)

And then in your existing CMakeLists.txt file, include this snippet:
# Download and unpack googletest at configure time
configure_file(CMakeLists.txt.in googletest-download/CMakeLists.txt)
execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -G "${CMAKE_GENERATOR}" .
  RESULT_VARIABLE result
  WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/googletest-download )
if(result)
  message(FATAL_ERROR "CMake step for googletest failed: ${result}")
endif()
execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build .
  RESULT_VARIABLE result
  WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/googletest-download )
if(result)
  message(FATAL_ERROR "Build step for googletest failed: ${result}")
endif()

# Prevent overriding the parent project's compiler/linker
# settings on Windows
set(gtest_force_shared_crt ON CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)

# Add googletest directly to our build. This defines
# the gtest and gtest_main targets.
add_subdirectory(${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/googletest-src
                 ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/googletest-build
                 EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)

# The gtest/gtest_main targets carry header search path
# dependencies automatically when using CMake 2.8.11 or
# later. Otherwise we have to add them here ourselves.
if (CMAKE_VERSION VERSION_LESS 2.8.11)
  include_directories("${gtest_SOURCE_DIR}/include")
endif()

# Now simply link against gtest or gtest_main as needed. Eg
add_executable(example example.cpp)
target_link_libraries(example gtest_main)
add_test(NAME example_test COMMAND example)

## Remainder of your project config...

Placing your test code in example.cpp should make them executable via example.exe once built.

A: I encountered this same issue using eclipse. Mine was due to not linking the google test libraries which can be found in the lib folder of google test build directory.
Image Description

A: I use Eclipse as the IDE. I had simply forgotten to specify the builder in the project settings, so Eclipse tried to build the project with g++.

'Open banking' initiative to make life 'easier for consumers'
MoneyPlace CEO Stuart Stoyan says the impending arrival of 'open banking' will help foster competition within the banking sector. Open banking is a system where banks allow a customer to easily access their own data, making it simpler for consumers to shop around for a better deal. It also means the major banks will be required to pass on a customer's data to a 'trusted third party,' which would allow those companies to offer well-credentialed advice to their clients. The changes will come into place for the major banks on July 1. Mr Stoyan says the changes will 'reduce friction' for consumers and make 'their lives easier.' Westpac's Chief Strategy Officer Jamie Twiss told Sky News that open banking is replacing a system 'that is less secure' when it comes to a customer's data. He says he believes security 'will go up' and competition 'will increase' under the open banking system.

A forja catalã era um estabelecimento siderúrgico dedicado à redução direta do minério de ferro e à produção de ferro e aço que empregava um forno de pedra com 2 metros de altura, cujos insufladores de ar eram foles de couro acionados por trompas d'água.

Essas forjas criadas em razão da influência islâmica na região da Catalunha, Espanha, representaram um avanço tecnológico em relação aos fornos de lupa, uma vez que sua capacidade diária de produção era quase dez vezes maior. Por este motivo, as forjas catalãs dominaram a produção de ferro na Europa do século XI ao século XV.

Ocorre que, com o surgimento dos altos fornos e do método de refino do ferro gusa, a indústria siderúrgica passou a preferir o processo de redução indireta do minério de ferro, aos poucos deixando de utilizar as forjas catalãs.

ALMA Detects Signs of Star Formation Surprisingly Close to Galaxy's Supermassive Black Hole
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered signs of star formation perilously close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. If confirmed, this would be the first time that star formation was observed so close to the galactic center.
Possible Star Formation in the Galactic Center.
Full Caption
The center of our galaxy, 27,000 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius, is home to a monstrous black hole with a mass of four million suns. Extending outward from this gravitational behemoth for many light-years is a turbulent region of space that is thought to be wracked by such extreme tidal forces that any star-forming clouds of dust and gas would be stretched thin and shredded long before infant stars could emerge.
Yet against these extreme odds, ALMA spotted telltale jets of material bursting out of what appear to be dense cocoons of gas and dust. These jets, if they were observed in more placid surroundings, would indicate the formation of a young star. The results were accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.
"People think it is very hard to form stars near a supermassive black hole," said Farhad Yusef-Zadeh of Northwestern University. "This is because the gravity of the black hole produces extreme tidal forces that would stretch and elongate molecular clouds, preventing them from ever accumulating enough mass to trigger star formation. But what we seem to have found are patches of dust and gas that have become so dense that they are able to overcome their inhospitable surroundings."
Yusef-Zadeh and his colleagues speculate that these molecular clouds have become so massive and dense, possibly by colliding together, that they cross the all-important threshold that allows internal gravity to take over, starting a chain of events that inexorably leads to the birth of a new star. As this process evolves, material in these clouds clumps together and collapses into an ever denser mass that begins to rotate faster and faster. This rapid rotation, possibly coupled with the star's magnetic field, accelerates some of the material and shoots it out into space along the nascent star's axis of rotation. The astronomers were able to detect these characteristic jets of material by tracing the presence of the molecule silicon monoxide (SiO), which is relatively abundant in molecular clouds. When excited during star formation, SiO emits a very specific set of wavelengths of light in the microwave, or millimeter range. This is precisely the window of light that ALMA was designed to study.
"SiO is an excellent tracer of molecular outflows," said Yusef-Zadeh. "What we see in these images from ALMA are outflows that appear very much like what we see in star-forming regions elsewhere in galaxy. So the environments may be very different, but once you get the right conditions, collapse takes place and you're able to create what we would observe to be run-of-the-mill massive or intermediate mass stars."
For more than a decade, astronomers have puzzled over the origin of stars seen whipping around the black hole that lurks at the center of our galaxy. These massive, young stars (less than 10 million years old) are rocketing through an area of space where it was thought they had no business being. Astronomers believe that they either formed elsewhere under more placid conditions and migrated inward or they somehow overcame their turbulent childhoods to emerge as relatively normal and well-adjusted stellar objects. "Though this question of stars near the galactic center is still open ended, ALMA will definitely have the power and sensitivity to shed more light on the mystery," said Al Wootten, the North America ALMA Project Scientist with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Charlottesville, Virginia. "These latest studies do suggest that the conditions necessary for star formation could extend much closer to the galactic center than we previously believed."
These results were part of the ALMA Science Verification program. The data were taken with only 12 of ALMA's eventual full complement of 66 antennas. Earlier data from CARMA, the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy, contributed to this research.
ALMA, an international astronomy facility, is a partnership of Europe, North America and East Asia in cooperation with the Republic of Chile. ALMA construction and operations are led on behalf of Europe by ESO, on behalf of North America by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), and on behalf of East Asia by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ). The Joint ALMA Observatory (JAO) provides the unified leadership and management of the construction, commissioning and operation of ALMA.

New Windows 11 Bug Found With Displaying HDR Content
If you're one of the early adopters of Windows 11 then you may have already experienced the latest bug that crept into the mix as of build 21H2.
Apps that utilize Win32 APIs to render colors on some HDR (High-Definition Range) displays may not work as expected.
HDR displays are noted for their rich incredibly broad color range which usually results in more vivid colors displayed than standard dynamic range (SDR) displays. In this instance though things aren't going according to plan.
Microsoft recently published information about the bug on the Windows Health Dashboard:
"This is frequently observed with white colors, which could display in bright yellow or other colors. This issue occurs when certain color-rendering Win32 APIs return unexpected information or errors under specific conditions."
This latest bug joins several other high-profile issues that the company is in the process of working their way through. These include an Intel audio driver issue that is causing Blue Screens of Death, assorted printer issues and system freezes, at least one issue impacting the Windows Remote Desktop, and a wide range of others.
On the other hand, the company is making progress. Recently they isolated the root cause of an issue that prevented certain apps from opening after being repaired or updated using the Windows Installer System Tool (previously known simply as "Windows Installer.")
Making something new is an iterative and risk-laden process. It is one that Microsoft is well-acquainted with having traveled down this road many times before. There are going to be problems along the way and that's inevitable. It simply can't be avoided when dealing with a project as large and complex as this one.
We have complete confidence that Microsoft will get it done. The result may not be perfect, and it will surely not please everyone. The company will certainly move their globally dominant OS a few more steps in the right direction, though

I was recently at Kelly Claman's office, a showroom featuring hot emerging & established designers, and was totally taken by this bright pink embossed cuff by Kara Ross, so much so, that I pulled out my HTC One to capture it. What really caught my attention was the shock of pink in a tougher design. I had just come from another preview that spoke about the duality of tough & feminine and this seemed to capture exactly the message that I had just heard.
Driving along Dundas West I stumbled on this sweet bakeshop Le Dolci and, of course, had to pull over to take a look – the treats were a delicious as the decor suggested. But again, there was this pink against a tough urban setting... Hmm.
Deciding to make an impromptu pit stop at one of my favourite stores in T.O, Tabula Rasa (soon to move to Brooklyn, New York – so an immediate must visit!) I realized that I had inadvertently stumbled – yet again– on that great bold pink. They say that emerald is the colour of the season but I'm hedging my bets that bold pink (any degree on the spectrum) is in contention. And taking a look at fall runways, it will only get bigger – take a look at what Balmain, Miu Miu and Sonia Rykiel sent down the f/w '13 runway. And so, my early nod to the colour thanks to Tips Nailbar.
Snapped with my HTC One in my car, but don't worry, I pulled over for this selfie.

Support the Rule of Law, Not Autocracy
by Victor Schachter • 23 October 2018
While our democracy has historically been described as a rule of law system under which we are governed "by laws and not of men" (a "nomocracy"), this characterization is flawed and dangerously misleading. In fact, we are a government of laws and of men and women. It is important to recognize this reality, for the failure to do so renders us vulnerable to morphing from a true democracy to an autocracy, with a resulting loss of political freedom and human rights.
Donald Trump's actions as president provide glaring examples of this danger: recklessly enforcing our immigration laws, resulting in inhumane separation of parents from children and denying recourse to the courts; reneging on international climate change commitments and reversing the course of the Environmental Protection Agency through unwarranted deregulation; pardoning Joe Arpaio, the former sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, convicted of criminal misconduct; refusing to vilify white supremacists engaging in criminal misconduct; racially attacking minority judges who reject his unconstitutional practices; targeting transgender personnel in the US military; evading responsibility for numerous conflicts of interest; dismissing FBI Director James Comey for self-serving reasons; refusing to staff key governmental positions (thereby consolidating his power base); refusing to support alliances (both military and economic) with other democracies in the world; and acquiescing to Russian President Vladimir Putin in the face of strong evidence that Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential election—to name a few.
Under traditional rule-of-law principles, all citizens of the United States are entitled to equal and fair treatment under the laws enacted by their legislative representatives and executed by the president. More specifically, rule of law means that citizens cannot—and should not—be governed by the whim of individual government officials. Arbitrary actions undertaken by government officials subject our citizenry to chaotic and unpredictable actions. The governed become victim to uncertain, inconsistent behavior and unfairness as a matter of course. It is no longer the law "by the people, for the people" but the law as interpreted and executed as government officials see fit, much akin to autocracy.
Consequently, it is critical to appreciate that the rule of law also encompasses the manner in which such laws are actually executed by government officials. The most well-intentioned law can be completely undermined where excessive executive power is exerted to further demagogic or partisan objectives, in disregard of true democratic principles. The president's overreaching use of immigration laws and excessively restrictive executive orders to deny asylum seekers even the bare minimum of due process hearings is just one glaring example of such abuse.
The failure to recognize that the rule of law extends beyond the letter of the law, and applies equally to the manner of its enforcement by people in power, will continue to erode our democratic system. This system already feels the strain of an alienated constituency due to the overarching influence of special interest lobbyists and big money. "Resist" groups at all levels (legal, civic, scientific, and economic) must collaborate effectively to preserve and revitalize a true rule-of-law paradigm that will strengthen our democratic process. As frequently quoted: "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."
It is essential for our citizenry to be involved through focused litigation to stop executive excesses and actions violating separation of church and state; to urge congressional representatives to hold the president accountable for his actions; support political candidates who respect constitutional boundaries and rule of law; endorse judicial appointments of truly qualified, non-partisan candidates with a prior record of competence and respect for judicial integrity and independence; and educate students and citizens about rule-of-law principles which are too often taken for granted. These are the kind of initiatives that really make America great and ensure a government of laws, fairly, impartially, and reasonably enforced. In this way we can hope to preserve the longest-surviving democracy in human history.

Betfair provides a £30 in free bets!
What is the Betfair Betting Exchange?
Founded in 2000, Betfair has evolved into one of the most successful and recognizable online gambling brands. Headquartered in London, Betfair's online services include a sportsbook, betting exchange, casino, live casino and poker room.
At last count, Betfair had more than four million clients. The company has earned a reputation for integrity and fairness, and its software is stable and secure.
Not to mention, Betfair is widely known as the best place for punters to find the best odds on all their sports bets!
Open a new account at Betfair Sports and simply place your first bet of at least £10. Then, within 24 hours of placing this first bet, you will receive three (3) free bet tokens of £10 for a total of £30 free!
To find your free bet details, log in to the Betfair website and navigate to the Free Bets section.
Click here to receive this great offer!
The Betfair sportsbook and betting exchange are always hosting a free bet that is claimable by all new members. To claim the bonus, simply click here to go to Betfair and register a new account.
The registration form includes a field for a promo code. At the time of this writing, the promo code to enter is ZSK200 – however, these promo codes often change so be sure to check the Betfair website.
Find more information on this Betfair promo code here.
Once registration is complete, make your initial deposit and then you may place your first bet. You will need to place this first wager within 7 days of registering your Betfair account.
Regardless of whether you win or lose your initial bet, Betfair will then gift you three free bet tokens, worth £10 each. The credit to your account will be automatic and occur within 48 hours of when you initial bet got settled.
Taking advantage of the introductory free bet also provides you with access to a month-long cash-back bonus. For 30 days, from the moment you open the account, Betfair provides cash back on every wager made. How it works is that the sportsbook awards one Betfair Point for each 10p wagered, and then you earn money based on the total points accrued. Achieving at least 100 points will earn you a £10 bonus, and achieving 50,000 points or more will earn you the maximum bonus of £1,000.
In addition to the introductory free bet and cash back, Betfair offers numerous opportunities for free bets throughout the year via its promotional schedule. These bonuses are usually seasonal and available for a wide range of wagers, including horse racing, football and even the Olympics. To see current offers, access the Betfair website. On the menu, click Sports, and then on the submenu, click Offers.
The Betfair sportsbook and betting exchange are two distinct products that are accessible via a unified interface. A betting exchange is a service that allows both bookies and individuals to buy and sell betting contracts. A traditional sportsbook presents you with odds for a given wager, and then you have the choice of taking it or leaving it. With a betting exchange, you have the flexibility to define your own odds. There is no guarantee it'll be picked up, but at least the possibility for the bet exists.
The primary difference between Betfair and other sportsbooks is that you have many more options. Online sports bettors generally have to give their business to several or more books in order to get the odds that they want. The Betfair bettor can deal exclusively with Betfair. Either the sportsbook has the bet they want, or they can get any reasonable bet via the betting exchange.
With Betfair, you can place back bets or lay bets. The Exchange is an open market, so odds are referred to as prices and bets as markets. Betfair also gives you the option to trade bets. Betfair supports the full range of sports and bet types, and any bet available through the sportsbook is also available via the betting exchange. To place a bet, simply open a betting ticket, set the specifics, click OK and then confirm. Betting tickets also give you the option of defining your own bet, which can be picked up by a bookie or another punter. New bettors should use the odds posted at other sportsbooks as a guide. Posting unreasonable odds is a waste of time because no one will pick the bet up.
Be sure to read our review of the Betfair no deposit bonus where you can receive £5 free just for registering a new account at the Betfair Casino here!
You can read more about the differences between the Betfair Exchange and the Betfair Sportsbook, as well as the Betfair Exchange free bet offer here.
Thanks for the Free Bets!
Thanks for the information on the free bets. Other websites advertised other offers but they did not work or were expired. Your free bet offer is brilliant and Betfair is an excellent site. Thanks.
