Artists in their own words: Alex Rawls
Dec 12, 2018 • Artists, Interviews
Alex Rawls, writer and creator of the podcast "12 Songs of Christmas." (Photo by: Patrick Ainsworth)
Who: Alex Rawls
What: Writer and podcaster
Where: Uptown
Favorite holiday treat: One year David Doucet from Beausoleil and writer DeDe Cale made me figgy pudding, and I want more figgy pudding. It was great. I'm thinking this year we need to represent with the figgy pudding.
Q: What feeling do you want to have overwhelm you?
AR: Amazement. If I think particularly about Christmas music, I want a song that makes me curious about how it can exist, that makes me wonder how it came to be, and that reassures me. The best Christmas music reassures me that there are real people still out in the world. The songs are so well-made, but there are also so many bat-shit crazy artistic decisions made that you know the creator had to be a real person. A marketing person who is trying to work the charts would never make those choices.
I will take that everyday.
There's a connection between people and Christmas music in part because they are really well-constructed songs, but also because they are so familiar. There's a feeling of comfort with them, like grandma's cooking. You can settle into the music because you know it. I'm not a particularly nostalgic person, but there are still songs that hit and kick in at a 'mama's meatloaf' level.
Q: Whose Christmas song has a tendency to get stuck in your head?
AR: Well, June Christy's "Man With The Bag" because that is what's hitting me right in this moment. That would be as good as choice as any. It's a great hard-swinging song.
I have to say, I listen to so much Christmas music this time of year that there isn't anything that sticks in my head. Although, right now, I'm listening to a piece called "El Baile de Santa Claus" by Grupo Exterminador, and it's so much fun. I don't understand any of it until it gets to this part that goes, 'ho ho ho Santa Claus.' I heard it for the first time about three weeks ago, and it's really there in my head.
Q: Why do you think humans like to see connections?
AR: Everybody wants to understand their world, and connecting A to B and C makes them feel like they see how the big machine works, even if they connect them wrong. That impulse is one of the underlying ideas behind the podcast, to try to connect songs and musicians from different eras, genres, and levels of success and see if there are patterns and connections that help to explain the place of Christmas songs in our culture.
Part of that activity is thinking about the connections I've made to see if they're true. Or if musicians give me a reason to see things differently. One thing I've discovered while asking musicians about Christmas music is that they don't always think about it as something special and different, and the Christmas-specific questions that I assume must be on their minds often aren't. For many, a day making Christmas music is just another day at the office.
Q: Where was the strangest place you either interviewed someone or that you've been interviewed?
AR: Most of the '12 Songs' interviews have happened right at my desk in my house with my mixing board, and whomever I'm interviewing on the phone. Although, I did go to Tipitina's to catch Robert Earl Keen backstage.
The most amazing one as an experience was when I was doing a interview with Steve Rehage when he was still the promoter for Voodoo. This was in 2005, and I did it for the Memphis Flyer, and I was having the interview while I was driving into New Orleans for the first time post-Katrina. This was maybe a week after Katrina when I got an assignment from Spin to cover the damage. I had a friend driving with me so we could rescue our animals that were left behind. We had the interview scheduled to promote Voodoo in Memphis, where it had partly moved that year, and I was trying to interview him while we're driving into the city and seeing all the destruction and aftermath of the storm. I would ask Steve a question and then he would want to know what I was seeing. That was a trip.
Q: If you had to make a holiday dish to represent your "12 Songs of Christmas" podcast, what would it be?
AR: I'm going to say roast beef and microgreens. On one hand, it's important that the work is rooted in history. Those classic songs are the classic songs, and they are the text that people not only love but that people respond to now. Just a few minutes ago I listened to a new version of 'Christmas Time is Here.' The musicians are trying to capture what still makes that song so amazing while also putting a contemporary spin on it. So that's the traditional part, but at the same time, it's really important that we represent contemporary music.
One of the things I've always found with the all-Christmas radio stations is that I have a really hard time trying to map my Christmas on the music of my parents and grandparents. The idea that I should want to hear songs that were hits 15-20 years before I was born doesn't make any sense to me. I want to hear music that is part of my world now and part of my recent past. One of the things I've been fascinated by and try to include in '12 Songs' is the idea that there are classics that are bulletproof, but there are also some amazing new songs.
There's a new-ish one that I'm just blown away by. It's "Sleigh Ride" by The Roots Radics with Karen Carpenter. Roots Radic is playing this deep dub version of a Christmas song, and someone laid Karen Carpenter over that track. It's deep, heavy, and has this amazingly brilliant groove, and it sounds like Karen Carpenter sang with the group. It's really powerful, and admittedly, dub reggae is really up my alley — especially from that era — so pair that with a classically beautiful voice of Karen Carpenter and it's just miraculous.
Because that's the thing: I want to hear what is brilliant and creative of our time as well as celebrate what was brilliant and amazing of the past.
Alex Rawls' new podcast, "The 12 Songs of Christmas," examines Christmas music to see what it can tell us about popular music and the business that accompanies it. Current episodes include interviews with New Orleans' Panorama Jazz Band, Loose Cattle (featuring Tony-winning actor Michael Cerveris), Canadian progressive string band Sultans of String (with New Orleans' Boyfriend), Prog-rock band The Wizards of Winter (with Nashville songwriter Jim McCormick), Indie guitar hero Delicate Steve (with Atlanta-based music writer David Dennis), Seattle-based singer/songwriter Kristin Chambers (with saxophone player Mars Williams) and Texas singer/songwriter Robert Earl Keen.

Our Ozark Beauty Strawberries are popping up left and right in our tall strawberry planter at the store parking lot.
Something happy and therapeutic about growing your own fruits…especially strawberries. Happy Summer!


New York State Senator Rachel May, who is also the Chair of the Committee on Aging, visited Loretto to learn how our organization is currently operating, what challenges we are facing, and what ideas and opportunities we believe exist for our industry.
In a town hall setting on March 1, 2019, a room full of Loretto leaders, employees and residents shared their experiences and insights, and asked questions of Senator May. The Senator had plenty of her own questions, too, as she sought to truly understand what the troops on the frontline of long-term care really need.
There are myriad factors affecting health care right now – including the economy and political environment, workforce shortages, changing consumer demographics and preferences, data and technology.
Loretto President and CEO Dr. Kim Townsend shared the organization's new Strategic Plan, which includes evolving our employee experiences, patient experiences, operational processes, community-based care and partnerships to meet current and future demands.
We reminded Senator May that our mission is to be a family of exceptional people caring for and about each other. And Loretto is active in working to ensure Medicaid funding is available to help as many of our residents as possible get the care they need, regardless of their personal income and assets. We also have a dedicated team to help you navigate the financial processes of our programs, services and residences – including how to use Medicaid. Contact us if you'd like to learn more.

Adopting a Coaching Mindset in Parenting
Chris Rivers
In season two, Episode 25, Chris Rivers speaks with Kelly Hunt (member of Grace Church's Powdersville campus) about the changing roles of parenthood and how to effectively engage teenagers and young adults. Using the analogy of a coach, Kelly encourages listeners to guide their adult children from the "sidelines" while allowing them to feel the weight of responsibility and build confidence.
Topics: Coaching, Discipleship, Responsibility
Read Luke 15:11-24. Looking at this passage from the perspective of the father, what is one thing you notice or can apply to your role as a parent?
Are you currently operating as an authoritative parent or functioning more as a coach? Based on the stage of life your child is currently in, what shifts might you need to make?
Think about a coach who has been influential in your life. What parallels can you make between their role and the role you have as a parent?
How are you serving as an anchor in your children's lives? What is one action step you can take to move towards your children and be available to them?
Kelly opened the podcast by sharing insights he learned through his study of the prodigal son. Looking at this passage through his lens as a father, he was struck by one idea: Good kids can make bad decisions. In spite of many poor choices, the prodigal son recognized his mistakes and was honest about his failures. When he returned, he found his father right where he had left him. Similarly, our children need anchors in their lives they can return to when they experience failure or get off track.
As parents, we must adjust our parenting styles as our children grow. During their younger formative years, we often adopt a more authoritative approach. Here we set boundaries, model behaviors, and teach our children to respect that what we are doing is in their best interest. As they mature and push for independence, our parenting style shifts. We become like coaches, watching from the sidelines and looking for ways we can guide and support them.
Developing a coaching mindset takes intentionality and strategy. Coaches are not the ones playing the game. They are observing and offering clarity. They are taking timeouts to guide and encourage players and utilizing halftime to evaluate what is working, what is not working, what is missing and what is confusing. In our role as parents/coaches, we give our children the fundamentals they need for the game, while recognizing we can't play the game for them.
Acting as a coach in our adult children's lives looks like being involved and available to them. It looks like listening. It looks like mentoring. It looks like offering support. It looks like leaning in rather than pulling back. It looks like learning and knowing your childrens' unique personalities so you can love/coach them in the way that is most helpful and meaningful to them. Adopting a coaching mindset with a young adult might also involve solving a problem together. By being vulnerable about your own struggles, your children gain confidence and begin to see themselves as a valuable contributor to the team.
SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
To illustrate the point further, Jesus told them this story: A man had two sons. The younger son told his father, "I want my share of your estate now before you die." So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons. A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything. When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, "At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger! I will go home to my father and say, 'Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired servant.'"
So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. His son said to him, "Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son." But his father said to the servants, "Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found." So the party began. Luke 15:11-24

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Review
The Best Android Phone
The Android Valley Send an email
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is one of the best phones in the market – Great Display, Battery, Camera, S-Pen with Great Build & Performance by Samsung. It's a great package. Here's why:
Optimizer Features:
Flaw Detection:
S-Pen
As expected, Samsung built the Galaxy Note 9 with the latest hardware. The Super AMOLED + 6.4-inch Quad HD display is a smidgen bigger than the 6.3-inch board found on the Galaxy Note 8. It is controlled by the Snapdragon 845 SoC and comes in two choices — the base model has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of capacity, while the exceptional form has 8GB of RAM and 512GB of capacity. There's a microSD card opening supporting up to 512GB of extra memory, so hypothetically you can have 1TB of storage on your Note 9.
The biggest upgrade over past gadgets is the 4,000mAh battery. Samsung claims this smartphone can last an entire day, yet Samsung has said that in regards to its past gadgets too.
The Galaxy Note 8 had a 3,300mAh battery and offered around six hours of screen-on time, so we'd anticipate that the Note 9 will offer somewhere in the range of seven and eight hours.
The Note 9 additionally offers quick wireless and wired charging, with support for both PMA and Qi wireless charging standards.
There's a huge amount of other hardware highlights pressed into this device, pressure sensor, iris scanning, a heart rate sensor, Bluetooth 5.0, Carrier Aggregation offering 1.2Gbps download speeds, LTE Cat. 18 with 4x4MIMO and that's just the tip of the iceberg. The fingerprint scanner is located at the back underneath the camera (much like the S9) and Samsung's Iris Scanning face unlock feature offers another approach to unlocking your device.
The camera offers comparative hardware to the Galaxy S9 Plus and Galaxy Note 8 however, it includes intelligence as scene and flaw detection. The camera includes the same double sensor setup with double OIS that appeared in the Galaxy Note 8, and in addition, the super speed double pixel and double opening features that can be seen in the Galaxy S9 Plus.
The camera's new scene optimizer feature implies Samsung has at last gotten up to speed with gadgets like the LG G7 ThinQ and Huawei P20 Pro that use on-device machine learning, neural network and AI to automatically enhance your photographs. Like different devices, Note 9 can consequently identify the subject of a scene and adjust the settings to coordinate the scene.
Amid our short testing, we discovered it bolsters the colors in a photograph of flowers and — much like the Galaxy S9 Plus — brought about a photo that was satisfying to the eye. The Note 9 can automatically recognize 20 unique scenes. Samsung says proficient picture takers helped the company to adjust the custom settings for every one of these scenes.
The flaw detection feature could turn out to be valuable, despite the fact that we weren't actually ready to test it when we briefly examined Note 9. We've all taken a photograph that we thought would have been extraordinary, just to discover the backlight made the photo unusable, the lens had a smudge, someone blinked or the photo was slightly blurry. Samsung says that flaw detection implies the Note 9 will consequently reveal to you when there's an issue with the photograph, so you're ready to recapture it straight away before the scene vanishes.
The Galaxy Note range has dominated the scenes on account of the S-Pen, and Note 9 is not left out. The S-Pen currently supports Bluetooth LE, enabling it to act as a remote control for your device. The Bluetooth button can be programmed so you're ready to customize what shortcuts or applications are activated with a press-and-hold, double press or single press.
We all know how taking a group photograph can be very a hard nut to crack, yet with the refreshed S-Pen, you can launch the camera, change to selfie mode, and hit the shutter button. Obviously, Bluetooth implies the S-Pen presently needs to be charged, and this stylus is made a supercapacitor enabling you to dock it into your device and charge it to full in only 40 seconds. Samsung didn't state how huge the battery is, but they say a full charge ought to be useful for 30 minutes of standby.
The Galaxy Note 9 is available in 2 colors in the U.S. — Ocean Blue and Lavender Purple — while the metallic copper and midnight colors will be available worldwide. The S-Pen likewise had a little makeover, with the Ocean Blue Note 9 housing a yellow S-Pen, and other colors having a coordinating S-Pen. The S-Pen offers screen-off notice like in earlier years, enabling the user to capture a note on the screen when it is blank or turned off. In Note 9, the content written in screen-off memo mode will now naturally coordinate the color of your S-Pen. Super cool!
Like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 that was launched a few weeks ago, the Galaxy Note 9 can run Samsung's Dex desktop solution out of the box without the requirement for a docking station. Combined with an HDMI cable and the Bluetooth S-Pen, this implies you can utilize only your Galaxy Note 9 for an entire presentation. With the device in Dex mode, you can use it Note 9 as your mouse and trackpad, and the on-screen keyboard will consequently pop up when you select a text input field.
The Galaxy Note 9 is available in stores, base model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of capacity will be available for $999, while the form with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of capacity is evaluated at $1,249. Any individual who pre-orders before August 23, 2018, can pick between a pair of v-bucks or noise-canceling AKG headphones to be used in the Fortnite game. On the other hand, you can simply have both of them if you make a one-time payment of $99.
The Galaxy Note 8 was a standout amongst other devices a year ago, and the Galaxy S9 Plus proceeded with that pattern. The Galaxy Note 9 plans to expand on this, however, with little changes over past generations, it stays to be seen whether an exclusive tie-up with game makers Epic Games on Fortnite is sufficient to make this a top of the line smartphone.
What are your thoughts on the Galaxy Note 9? Are the little changes and the exclusive inclusion of the game Fortnite enough for you to purchase Samsung's new leader? Tell us you what you think in the comments section!!

It has been some time since BBCTB's roster has been completed and yet there are not really any voice rips. I am here to fix that little issue, starting with Ragna the Bloodedge's english voice. I will keep adding more voice packs over time, but it should not take too long. I should have 6 voice packs total uploaded today.
Voice clips here have not been reorganized. I kept them the way they were in the files, but they are not completely random. Usually voice clips with similar purposes come one after another, but it gets harder to keep track of them once they move beyond numbers.
Another thing to note is that there are some unused voice clips that you might find useful such as Unlimited Hazama's power of the Azure speech, Lambda's lines among Nu's, Hakumen's white void speech and what sounds like unimplemented supers (I don't think "Unyielding Viper of the Basilisk" is ever used anywhere and "Seed of Tartarus" was Ragna's EA in CF, but he never says that line in CTB during his Crash Assault's final attack despite it being the same thing).
Are you still doing this? No pressure, just curious. If I may make a request, I was looking for Vatista's and Orie's EN voices.
I am still doing this. I can get them done real quickly.
Have you ripped Platinum's voice clips yet? I have an urge to make an entirely custom Platinum (not the sprites, the ones I have are solid), complete with intro against Ragna.
It's amazing! You're doing a god's work Susanoo! Keep it up.
No, but I can rip them today.
...unless they have the same problem as Mai, i.e. one of the program used to rip sounds from BBTag doesn't recognize it.
Susanoo are you planning ripping Japanese voice?
Yes. It is already written in the first post. I would like to rip english voices first though.
you will include the voices of team RWBY?

Menches was a scribe from the town of Kerkeosiris and lived around 114BC – his writings, on papyrus, were recycled as wrappings for mummified crocodiles, which were discovered at the beginning of the twentieth century.
On the first day of this month at about the eleventh hour (about 5 p.m.) a disturbance occurred in the village, and on running out we found a crowd of the villagers who had come to the assistance of Polemon, who is performing the duties of epistates (superintendent or overseer) of the village.
When we inquired into the matter, they informed us that Apollodoros and his son Maron had assaulted Polemon and that Apollodoros had escaped, but Maron had been put in prison and had appeared before Ptolemaios, the king's cousin and strategos (military governor). We thought it well to notify the matter for your information.
The 3rd year, Mesore 2 (18 August 114 BC).
I've been working on a big project for Carlton Books which has taken up all my time and for commercial reasons I was not allowed to go public with the details until now. It is a hardback book called Egyptworld, aimed at age group 8+ and forms part of a series of books that have already sold over 350,000 worldwide.
My job was to create meticulous double page illustrations of temple/pyramid recreations as well as every day life and all the scenes are populated with ancient Egyptian people going about their business. The book is due for publication in Autumn 2013.
I made these images as 3D computer generated scenes and although Carlton owns the rights the actual illustrations in the book I own the 3D scenes. Carlton has given me permission to make series of new images from these scenes for myself but from a different perspective.
If you would like to see 'Opet Festival at Karnak' click here.
I must say a word of the thanks to Russell Porter and the team at Carlton who have been a joy to work with and have given me the opportunity to produce some of the finest works of art of my career.

The Summer School "The Regulation of Robotics in Europe: Legal, Ethical and Economic Implications" is part of a three-year project that was awarded in the framework of the Call for proposals 2015 — EAC/A04/2014 under the Jean Monnet Activities of the Erasmus+ Programme – Jean Monnet Modules on "Europe Regulates Robotics". The Summer School will provide participants with an advanced understanding of the European framework within which robotic technologies are to be developed, marketed and used. Robotic technologies represent a novel kind of applications that has to be fitted within a pre-existing framework of legal standards, and socio-ethical beliefs and principles. Robots developed by research laboratories and industries across Europe need to comply with existing regulation, be respectful of – and promote – existing rights as recognized by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (CFR), abide a responsible research and innovation approach and take into account existing social needs and desires. It is therefore essential, both for engineers designing such applications and for lawyers and social scientists seeking to acquire relevant professional skills to be able to counsel roboticists and robotic enterprises, to acquire an exact understanding of all the different profiles and of interdisciplinary interactions. The Summer School aims at providing students with a solid background and methodological approach to enter the market for consultancy services to businesses developing robotic products, undergo independent research in law and technology and understand the non-technological issues to take into account in robotic products design.
University credits: A maximum of 2 academic credits (in accordance with the European Credits Transfer and Accumulation System – ECTS) will be awarded upon completion of the Course, if the final test is passed and the attendance requirement of at least 90% of the classes is met.
Certificate of Attendance: At the end of the Course only participants who have attended at least 90% of the classes, have passed the final examination and have paid the tuition fee, will receive a Certificate of Attendance including University Credits acquired.

Thiébaut began his career in 1976, training in France, Belgium and in England under Michael Cardew and Richard Batterham. Returning to France in 1981 he set up his first workshop in the Loire Valley and in 1984 built a new studio in the Vosges with a wood-fired kiln.
Thiébaut's style is unusual in that every piece is unique. He works in stoneware with applied coloured slips and wood fires. Examples of his work can be found in many public collections across Europe in Belgium, France and Germany. He is represented in the V&A museum and has recently been exhibited in the Louvre.


I am at my wits' end...again!
I'm sorry to complain about her so often.
but writing to you does help me blow off some steam.
You know me; I've got to get this out so I can move on to other things.
and at the same time introduce him and his friends to some of our neighbors.
I'll admit I went a little overboard, as usual.
I invited a few too many people and found myself doing three or four things at once.
I'd put something on to cook and would find the fire needed more wood.
so I'd rush to the marketplace.
I needed to run over to a neighbor's and borrow some plates and more cups.
Mary was some help, but frankly, it's easier for me to do things myself.
I know it'll be just right.
And, it's quicker to do it than it is to teach someone else to do it the way I want it done.
while I prepared the meal.
Now, that is some sacrifice on my part, Mother.
You know how much we admire Jesus and how impressed we are with what he says and what he does and what he is!
and heard what he was talking about.
I'm a detail person and I wanted everything to be just right.
I must have looked a sight by the time we finally ate.
my clothes were covered with spots and my hair was a mess.
But everybody seemed so appreciative!
They ate and talked and ate and laughed and ate some more.
Oh, I was in my element!
So, you're wondering what went wrong.
or minding the fire or slicing the fruit, three little things I thought she could manage without my looking over her shoulder to be sure she was doing things right.
she's over there talking to Jesus.
sitting at his feet, drinking in every word.
and I suppose, thinking back on it, I shouldn't have been so put out.
But, Mother, I needed her help in getting things ready.
and finding ways to thank the neighbors for their help.
I'll admit the meal was a bit lavish.
Maybe something simpler would have sufficed.
But it was too late at that point.
and I started to think of ways to shame her into helping me.
Then I thought to myself, why waste my breath?
She hasn't listened to me in years.
"Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself?
to the most respected person I had ever met.
There was an awkward silence as everyone looked at me and then at him.
Well, he wasn't much help at all.
and that I was distracted. Distracted?
How could I be distracted? I was too busy to be distracted.
and as far as I could tell, there were no choices here; it all had to be done.
and here he is telling me I'm distracted by too many things!
And then comes the real surprise.
In other words, she's on the right path and I'm wandering off somewhere.
Well, I guess I was more surprised than hurt, more startled than angry.
I was busy doing the wrong things, maybe for the wrong reasons.
I don't think he meant all the time, but at least that time.
I let the details get in the way of the occasion.
I suppose if anyone can redeem my busy-ness, Jesus can.
I still wish Mary would do more around here.
I should be used to her ways, I suppose.
But I love to serve people and host gatherings in my house.
And speaking of that, I've got to go now.
we're having for an engaged couple down the road.
There's so much going on these days.
I know Martha's writing you about the other day and I want you to know my side.
You know there's another side, don't you?
or over the Mount of Olives to Jerusalem.
or to measure the ways in which we are so alike!
I pray sometimes as I walk, or as I sit in the garden.
whose garden is so lovely and fragrant and quiet.
She says she spends almost all day tending it.
and moving this shrub to the open area of sunlight.
to enjoy the beauty of the creation she and God share.
smell the variety of scents carried by the breeze from one direction to another.
and the voice of God who speaks to her in the stillness of her little Eden.
or quietly enjoying its fruits.
Mother, I think I see both Martha and me in that old woman.
I could see the trouble that lay ahead.
to remember who the man is, and that his needs are few.
I wanted to say, "Martha, the man is coming to find some peace and quiet.
Out of our warm love for him, let's not over-schedule his time or overdo our hospitality." But Martha's never been one to listen very long.
"There's work to be done," she'd say.
or willing to devote all my energy to her agenda.
I'd say she's anxious on the inside and bustling on the outside because of it.
And the more overwrought she becomes, the fussier she gets.
consider details as things to be understood, not always as things to be done.
You see, I'm still so very impressed that Jesus even talks to us.
We feel truly close to him, but men who command respect, especially religious leaders, don't usually want to talk to women like Martha and me.
I suppose, first of all, they believe there's not much to be gained by it.
and they imagine us to be pre-occupied with trivia.
and so a respectable rabbi won't talk to a woman who's not a member of his family. Except Jesus.
and worthy of dealing with sacred matters.
(That's one reason people consider him a radical.
instead of worrying about how Martha wants to serve the figs?
I mentioned that Jesus is labeled a radical.
he may not be able to travel freely much longer.
He's liable to be arrested, probably jailed.
He's gone on to Jerusalem and even death may await him there.
I sensed that he's struggling in his heart with bending his will to the will of God.
and moving toward his voice, trying to overhear his words.
and I was not about to refuse.
Love and shalom and compassion were in his voice.
He cares so much for those who will listen well.
He loves his disciples and I am one of them.
but missing the whole point of his visit!
wringing the towel in her hand, weary from much work.
I think I saw a bit of jealousy in her eyes.
Here's the part that really got my goat!
you know, the bully's voice she's perfected over the years.
She says, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me alone to do the serving?
And he told her I had taken the better part and it wouldn't be taken from me.
not all the details or the food or entertainment.
The word of the Lord is our greatest need, and our greatest strength.
without giving him my undivided attention.
Before I finish, I guess I'll have to say this to be fair to Martha.
I'm glad there are people like her.
Her heart's in serving others.
Her gift is the gift of doing.
I'll admit she seems to accomplish a lot.
I wouldn't trade her as a sister, because we make a good team.
a time to be still and know God.
and I want to go watch the sky slowly turn from day to starry night.
a brief scripture lesson in which a gently dramatic family vignette unfolds.
as people baptized into the Body of Christ.
First, there is Martha, the one who is so busy doing things.
Someone has suggested that she is a "human doing", rather than a "human being".
there is the account of the lawyer asking Jesus about how to inherit eternal life.
"Love God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.
But to Martha, he says stop doing.
Sit down. Listen. And learn.
She chose discipleship as her role.
She is a listener, and therefore a learner.
It is expected that one day she will do what she has learned.
She will need to live out the lessons the Teacher instills.
Love is a verb. Peace must be waged, justice served, hope lived.
listening for every word that comes from the Lord.
And, there is the Lord.
the rhythm of working and resting.
He works the crowds; he retreats.
He preaches to the multitudes; he prays in solitude.
His example models for us the escape from distractions to discernment.
that feeds ministry and builds the Kingdom.
The Body of Christ today needs both Martha's and Mary's.
We need the gifts of ambition and energy from people who want to get things done: cook a meal, teach a lesson, visit the sick, paint a room.
Thank God for our Martha's.
or who join circles of prayer with other members of the Body of Christ.
with both reflection and action, prayers spoken and enacted.
and to seek the spiritual power we need to serve the broken world around us.
and if we commend Mary too profusely, she may sit there forever.
There is a time to go and do; there is a time to listen and reflect.
and willing enough to learn.
the Church will find the courage and boldness to give itself away in unselfish service.
what is the better portion, the right thing, for me today?
Let's not rush the answer, nor neglect its consequence!


In my fourth year in the canteen over a lemon tea I asked one of the visiting faculty, "What are we trying to do as architects?". It has been a long while since then, but I am not certain what I see will give me the clues to an answer.
In a modern, post colonial, resurgent, liberal, capitalistic India this seems a question that repeatedly wants to be asked of us.
In the last decade one could say that there has developed a trend of sorts between the cost of cheap airline tickets, bargain price package tours and the dominance of a certain shopping destinations on the imaginations and subsequent skyline of our cities . For the present it is wide-eyed desire for the "new-popular" not-so-far-west development.
Has the idea of value lost its place? In main-stream, contemporary architecture has the idea of value actually sunk rock bottom, to that of the morning clamour of the grocer trying to sell you his wares before the others.
A hundred acres of prime agricultural land now posh residential development; three and four bedroom flats, (nothing for two and one bedroom aspirations!) 21 kilometers from IGI etc, etc, etc. with sample flat ready. And it isn't rare to find the furniture supplied by the biggest names in designer furniture. Showrooms that are asked to make the pieces some times even six inches shorter in plan dimensions so the rooms will look larger.
This isn't so atypical of Gurgaon, where the expressway with all its clamour and glamour is a fitting metaphor for development/ growth / progress whatever you will, in India. Here you are allowed to build a 150 meter wide right of way, and no green belt, to sever a single settlement in two, with no concern for any thing other than the vehicles speeding to Jaipur. None at all for the foot borne poor who might need to cross the road (some one might have learnt from the absence of any footbridges, or underpasses at the AIIMS flyover). And still less even for traffic that might not have Jaipur on their minds.
This is the story of most contemporary architecture. RCC frame with single layer toughened glass façade and more air-conditioning than would make an HVAC engineers wildest dream, seems to be the preferred model of all commercial architectural enterprise in the wake of the 'just completed' shopping festival tour package. With an aluminium sandwich panel crown. Each building a pathetic reminder of every man's hope of writing his name into immortality. Sad mishappen crusades to build another Taj Mahal. Architecture for the dead of India.
It is either that or an architecture that will systematically reduce architecture in India to a cloning exercise of western European, or American travel magazines or shopping festival brochure architecture from closer home – Dubai.
The Modernist movement and its heroic architecture of the 1900s was probably the most misappropriated of all in India. Not in its syntax or geometry or construction ( if anything, you cannot fault us on construction technique) but in its advent or arrival. It was as if it was conjured up by some magic trick, snatched out of the blueness of the sky and wham- there you have it- modernism came to India.
The call for the "Temples of Modern India" has nothing but strong, unforesightly, political desire of the also-us. Although it might be fitting to note that what was promoted as the temples of modern India were the massive concrete marvels that are our hydroelectric projects in the Punjab. They would make for some temples by a good stretch of the imagination! But the claim would forever echo in the "sheep - in - wolf's – clothing" stance that many practices have made ever since to the wide eyed world.
It is some times sad to see most new edifices make an almost apologetic "also-me". Not unlike an advertisement on national television for a certain brand of sanitary napkin that ran a jingle, " Unhe bhi to pata chale, hum bhi modern hain"( Let them know, that we are modern also).
In the great speech of the temples of modern India, we at once forgot that India unlike Britain or America (no I will not write Dubai, because we did not even know if it existed then), is a nation of centuries of history, culture and traditions. And nobody, not even an oxonian, shervani clad, royalty of Indian real-politic was going to change that. The temples of modern India are the temples of not-modern India or the temples of old India; more correctly the temples of Ancient India. But from here was born the schizophrenic character that troubles all contemporary architectural traditions in India.
We have Corbusier clones, Kahn clones, Gaudi and Bota clones, and now Shanghai and Singapore clones. Some of us will swear by Koolhaas and Liebeskind, by Hadid and even Moss. Adding slowly to the numbers of half-ling orphaned children of a learned-by-rot modernism that fell out of the sky.
The same sky I looked up at and swore, against none in particular for the half hours waiting on that morning on the Gurgaon Expressway many months ago. Finally I had paid my passage and was relieved to look out over a patch of tarmac large enough for eight football fields simmering in the heat. Ahead atop towering pillars into the blue blue sky two sign boards answered my question.
This was not the answer I was looking for. None the less it was an answer. As a country, and a consciusness, our only measure of value has turned very measurable, empirical, and direct, the measure of quantity.
For a country that has changed science, shaped consciousness, nurtured cultures and still holds a lamp to the human race it is a come down indeed.
How much am I getting for a single rupee? Am I getting the most for my rupee? Is this the biggest I can get with my rupee? Is the newest I can buy with my rupee? Can you make it wider? Or Taller? Or Bigger? Higher? Can you make it cheap(est) and best so I can get most for my rupee. The tallest building, the biggest mall, the highest housing tower, the widest roads. The unquestionable superlative new architecture.


If I had a million bucks to spare, I'd probably open up a business, or invest it in something that could make the money grow. Then I'd eventually donate a percentage to charity, set aside some money for a vacation with my family, get a whole new wardrobe, and probably get a lot of more stuff that I normally wouldn't. And if I really, really had more millions than I can manage, then I'd probably buy the Veniamin Human Slinky costume that's up for sale on eBay for $1,000,000.
Not because I need it, but it's also for charity (10% of the final sale price will be donated to the American Cancer Society) and it's pretty darned cool. Of course, if I had that much money to throw around, I could probably also just have one drawn up and made for a tiny fraction of the price from some giant dryer hose. But just for private use, because the Human Slinky is probably already patented or something.
When you purchase the costume, you will also get the rights to perform the act under agreement, in addition to the costume itself. If you're not into that, then you can just wear it during costume parties and Halloween. Six offers have been made so far for the costume, all of which have been rejected.

COVID-19 Bashes Coca-Cola Global Sales Volumes
April 21, 2020: 12:00 AM EST
Coca-Cola reported flat first quarter revenues as global sales volumes slid 25 percent this month due to COVID-19 disruption. Q1 revenues were $8.6 billion, one percent less than the same period last year. Operating income declined by two percent to $2.38 billion. Unit case volumes of sparkling soft drinks declined two percent in the quarter, while juice, dairy and plant-based beverages were down six percent and tea and coffee volume declined six percent. The company said that volume at the end of February was growing by three percent – excluding China – and was on track to achieve its full-year 2020 targets. But disruption due to COVID-19 in global markets from March significantly impacted sales, as social distancing measures and quarantine orders were put in place by governments around the world. The company expects continued reduction in away-from-home activity will have a "significant impact on second-quarter results."[Image Credit: © THE COCA-COLA COMPANY]

Why hire a live-in Nanny?
Modern living can mean long hours for many families. Many families opt for a live-in nanny who not only becomes part of the family, but also provides essential wrap-around care for the children within their own home environment. A live-in Nanny usually works 10-12 hours a day, many will work one day on the weekend with a day off in lieu, during the week. A live-in nanny will usually also provide two nights per week babysitting, usually taken Monday to Thursday with weekend babysitting paid for as extra. Families requiring a flexible, reliable childcare option may wish to consider a live-in nanny. Salaries currently range between £300 and £500 per week depending on a number of factors such as, but not limited to experience, qualifications, location, number of children to be cared for, duties and time off.
What will life be like with a live-in Nanny?
Live-in nannies provide care on a sole or shared charge basis. The duties should be clearly noted in the contract and should be agreed by both parties prior to the start of the job. Typically, a live-in nanny will care for the children, she will perform nursery duties to include washing and ironing for the children, she will also keep their bedrooms and play areas tidy, she will prepare home-cooked meals for the children and will also make sure that the home is generally kept neat and tidy once the children have finished playing, eating or socialising. If you required more than light household duties, you may wish to consider a Nanny Housekeeper.
Live-in Nannies offer more flexibility than a daily Nanny, Nursery or Childminder as they are available to start work early and finish late. Increasingly, both parents are going out to work and with demanding careers, families are looking for good quality, reliable childcare that is more personal than the alternatives. Live-in nannies become part of the family offering the security and continuity of care that is rarely available otherwise.
Your live-in nanny will require her own accommodation although if an en-suite or separate bathroom is not available, sharing a bathroom with the children is common practice. It is important to remember that while your live-in nanny does become part of your family, she should also be allowed to have privacy on her time off should be respected. Any changes to the original agreement, would need to be agreed by both parties, usually through amending the contract accordingly.

Thus, having secured the Machenko residence with the help of the Sisters of Battle, the acolytes did then dismiss the Chaliced Commissariat and sought clues while awaiting the arrival of the Ordo Xenos.
Arbitrator Fraal did seek more information from the Chaliced Commissariat, and cleverly engaged their leader, Commissar Fang. Through a clever ruse, she did manage to extract a promise that he would provide the acolytes with additional information on the origin of the writ issued to the Chaliced Commissariat for the assault of the Machenko estates. In return she promised to magnify the part played by the Chaliced Commissariat in her report.
Tech-Priest Machina, meanwhile, invoked the the spirits of the estate's system of pict recorders, beseeching them to show images of times past. Great was his fervor and great was his respect, and lo the machine spirits responded, showing him scenes of a lowly scullery maid moving near the place where the xenos artifact had been placed. Further investigation revealed that this individual was not a scullery maid at all, but some form of shape-shifting assassin who had infiltrated the estate!
Examination of the quarters of the scullery maid/assassin proved to be vexing, as the door and room were both fiendishly trapped. Tech Priest Machina was able to defuse a bomb left behind, but a second attack by a molecular acid spray severely injured Legate Investigator Jamadar and destroyed much evidence. At this time the Ordo Xenos, under the command of Inquisitor Al-Subaai, arrived and whisked the acolytes back to the Tricorn for medical treatment and interrogation. Samples of skin found on their clothing indicated that the assassin had used polymorphine, an extremely rare and unique drug, to change his/her form.
Research into the origins of the polymorphine pointed to Fenksworld as a possible origin, due to that world's abundance of petrochemical and biochemical production facilities.
Arbitrator Fraal was contacted by Commissar Fang, who reported unto her that the orders for the Chaliced Commissariat attack had originated from the offices of one of the advisers to Sector Governor Marius Hax. The Minister of Orthodoxy, Pharius Krin, had ordered the deed though Fang could not say for certain whether the idea originated from him or some other high office.
This put the acolytes in mind of an old "Friend" from Hive Sibellus - the playwright Lord Elsergi Krin. Hidalgo Hernandez determined that he would follow up this intriguing lead, and arranged to meet the young artist at a party. Lord Krin greeted his former benefactor and supporter quite cordially, and supplied him with a single dose of the rare and dangerous narcotic farcosia in exchange for a large sum of throne gelt. Further discussion confirmed that the playwright was, indeed, the son of Pharius Krin, though he claimed to be estranged from the family (a statement not entirely true).
After some considerable discussion, it was decided by Legate Investigator Jamadar that the appropriate course of action was to proceed to Fenksworld, following the Machenko Dynasty, the polymorphine, and the potential for access to the Library of All Knowing. A plan was conceived that Hidalgo Hernandez would pose as a minor noble from Sepheris Secundus - a role for which he was well-suited - coming to Fenksworld to purchase purification equipment in order to set up a water selling operation on his homeworld. Tech-Priest Machina would serve as his technical advisor, and both Arbitrator Fraal and Commissar Jamadar would serve as bodyguards.
Prior to departure a contingent of Skiitari Tech Guard arrived for Tech Priest Machina.
Of the journey to Fenksworld there is little to be said. The Quinnarius was able to be loaded aboard an Imperial Guard mass conveyor bound for Acreage, which cut travel time considerably, but the transit from Acreage to Fenksworld was still slow and frought with the dangers of the Warp. Training and research took up most of the journey.
At last did Quinnarius emerge from the warp near unto Fenksworld, and Tech-Priest Machina did guide them with skillful hands to a landing at the foetid and vile Volg Hive. Arrangements were made through the Administratum for Hidalgo Hernandez to engage in trade, and preparations were made for a meeting with the Machenkos.

The Arabic Meatball Soup That's Made For Holiday Celebrations
from my point of view/Shutterstock
By Lauren Rothman/Nov. 25, 2022 2:51 pm EST
Of all the delicious comfort foods out there — from crispy fried chicken to creamy mac and cheese to decadent bread pudding — the one that feels most like a warm hug has got to be soup. Whether it's a bowl of spiced red lentil, creamy roasted tomato, or veggie-packed minestrone, soup is one of those foods that's common — and almost mundane — yet oh-so-satisfying.
Like other broad categories of food like salads and stews, there seem to be a million and one soup recipes, with some preparations being better suited to specific occasions. Chilled gazpacho, for example, goes down particularly well on a swelteringly hot day, while chicken noodle soup seems to cure what ails us if we fall ill. There are even types of soup that are typically prepared for certain holidays, such as fish chowder for the Feast of the Seven Fishes, an Italian Christmastime celebration (via Sumptuous Spoonfuls), and matzo ball soup on Passover (via The New York Times).
Another holiday-appropriate hearty soup? The Arabic meatball soup shurabet el Eid.
Meatballs and rice simmer in spiced chicken broth for this holiday soup
If you haven't explored the wide world of Middle Eastern soups, there's so much to discover, from the Lebanese lentil soup sorbet adas (via Foodaciously) to the Moroccan chickpea soup harira. And if you're looking for a festive option, you can check out shurabet el Eid, a comforting meatball soup whose name translates to "holiday soup." Typically served on Easter or Christmas, according to The Wall Street Journal, the traditional version of the soup includes baked lamb or beef meatballs, rice, kubbeh (also spelled kibbe), deep-fried ground meat, and bulgur croquettes.
For a simpler, weeknight version, a Serious Eats recipe omits the labor-intensive kubbeh, adding only the rice and small oven-baked meatballs, which are simmered in a cinnamon- and allspice-scented chicken broth. Served with a garnish of fresh parsley, the homey soup is also traditionally offered to postpartum women to help them regain strength after birth, or to those suffering from a head cold — so don't think you have to save the dish for Easter of Christmas if either of those situations applies to you.

Since the pay day loan industry is extremely regulated, it is not uncommon for even one of the most reputable of lenders to have lawsuits or regulatory fines inside their pasts. Loans can cost around 400% rate (APR) or maybe more, and finance charges to loan say $100 for example, can vary from between $15 to $30.

Мінська операція проводилася радянськими військами проти нацистських сил на території східної частини Білоруської РСР в часі з 29 червня по 4 липня 1944 року, є складовою частиною операції «Багратіон». Наступ здійснювався силами Першого, Другого й Третього Білоруських за співдії Першого Прибалтійського фронту.

Попередні обставини
Внаслідок Вітебсько-Оршанської, Бобруйської та Могильовської операцій для радянських військ створилися сприятливі умови. Проводилася одночасно з Полоцькою операцією.

Згідно із задумом Ставки Верховного Головнокомандування головний удар мав здійснюватися силами 11-ї гвардійської, 31-ї армії, 5-ї гвардійської танкової армії й 2-го гвардійського танкового корпусу із завданням протягом 30 червня — 1 липня подолати Березину та до кінця 2 липня зайняти Мінськ.

До кінця дня 28 липня Перший Прибалтійський фронт здійснював бойові дії на підходах до Полоцька та по лінії Заозер'є — Лепель, Дретунь — Ушачі — Лепель; частини Третього Білоруського фронту підійшли до річки Березина, перший Білоруський фронт вийшов на рубіж Свіслоч — Осиповичі.

Чисельність німецьких військ на початок операції складала 1,2 мільйона вояків, 9500 гармат й мінометів, 1350 літаків, 900 танків та штурмових гармат. На Мінський напрямок перекидаються дивізії для підкріплення групи армій «Центр», у тому числі танкові, і Данії та Норвегії, зі складу групи армій «Північ» та «Північна Україна».

Перебіг боїв
Війська 3-го та 1-го Білоруського фронтів одночасно у напрямі, що сходився, здійснили удар по частинам противника, прямуючи до Мінська. По тому у співдії з підрозділами 2-го Білоруського фронту здійснювалося оточення центрального міста БРСР. У тому ж часі підрозділи 1-го Прибалтійського фронту разом з окремими з'єднаннями 2-го та 3-го Прибалтійських фронтів продовжили спроби швидкого просування в західному напрямі задля зайняття плацдармів для подальшого наступу та ліквідовували прибуваючу підмогу противника. Білоруські партизани створювали засади на шляхах відступу німецьких сил, знищували переправи та мости.

Протягом 29—30 червня підрозділи Третього Білоруського фронту вийшли до Березини, форсували та продовжили наступ на Мінськ. 29 червня від нацистських сил були звільнені села Домжериці, Рожно. Сильний опір німецькі війська здійснювали по лінії річки Свіслоч, куди спішно перекидаються підрозділи 12-ї танкової дивізії. Подолавши опір, радянські танкові з'єднання виходять до Пуховичів, частина сил починає обхід Мінська з півдня. Одночасно продовжувався наступ на Барановичі. Кавалерійські з'єднання у співдії з механізованими та загальновійськовими частинами долають опір противника на проміжних рубежах та 30 червня займають місто Слуцьк. Сили Другого Білоруського фронту вийшли в міжріччя Дніпра і Друті.

1 липня радянські війська займають місто Борисов.

2 липня 5-та гвардійська танкова армія вийшла основними силами до Острошицького Городка та розпочала бої на північних й північно-східних підступах до Мінська, 2-й гвардійський танковий корпус рухався до міста зі сходу. Підрозділи правого крила Третього Білоруського фронту обходять Мінськ з північного сходу, разом із партизанами в боях займають Вілейку, Красне та перетинають залізницю Мінськ — Вільнюс. Перший Білоруський фронт у боях займає Городею, Несвіж, Столбці та перетинають залізницю Мінськ — Барановичі.

На 3 липня німецький гарнізон Мінська, згідно з радянськими даними, становив 3 піхотні та 1 танкову дивізію, 3 полки СС й різні спецпідрозділи. 3 липня радянське танкове з'єднання 2-го гвардійського танкового корпусу (генерал Олексій Бурдейний) увірвалося та зав'язало бої в місті, північніше підійшли до Мінська частини 5-ї гвардійської танкової армії.
