It's time for a Weekly Menu Plan for this last week of October!
Just like that my favorite month of the year is gone. I feel like it went much faster than usual, anyone else feel that way? The holidays are literally around the corner, not even just a little but a lot around the corner.
Are you all ready to start thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas?
I haven't even started to think about gifts yet. I mentioned last week we are doing things a little bit different for Christmas this year.
I'm still trying to figure out what all that's going to look like because in my usual fashion, I typically think 'oh I didn't get them enough' right on Christmas Eve.
Then, I end up impulse buying things they do not need and they have never gone without…we are our own worst critics, aren't we?
I think we've all fallen prey to social media and seeing all these great Christmas photos and then immediately comparing ourselves…I'm telling myself not this time!
I already told my husband we need to be busy the day after Thanksgiving. In years past, we never plan to go shopping on Black Friday outside of a few things online maybe but nothing else.
Then, later on during the day on Black Friday…we go make some HUGE purchase and it's always unplanned and like a million times higher than our Christmas budget.
So…we've got to keep ourselves busy and no shopping, I have Disney World to look forward to, right?
We are saving all the pennies for Disney World and Discovery Cove on spring break. I'm so excited to swim with dolphins…I'm more excited for that than Disney World.
We've been planning this trip since earlier in the summer, so although I'm going to be sad to see the year go, I'm also really excited for spring break to get here. Can we just move on along to that time?
In the meantime, let's get to this week's menu.
Enjoy this delicious weekly menu plan.

The shows will be performed at 8 p.m. and run for 65 minutes. Tickets are available online at poppunkhigh.com or at the door.

February 4, 2015: Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum 10:00-10:50am and 2:00-2:50pm CST
President Truman and Civil Rights: President Truman served in the military during World War I. Truman's experience as a soldier gave him respect for soldiers. He was outraged when he heard African American World War II veterans were being mistreated shortly after coming back home in 1945 and 1946, especially in the southern states. This presentation will examine primary sources from the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum and evaluate Truman's response to the mistreatment of African American veterans.

The Roosevelts and Race in the 1930s and 40s: Despite overwhelming support from the African American electorate, FDR's fear of losing the support of long-serving southern Democrats in Congress kept him from becoming a champion of civil rights.This session will explore the Roosevelt record on race by highlighting three specific events: Mrs. Roosevelt's 1939 resignation from the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR); Executive Order 8802, which ended discrimination in the defense industries; and the creation of the all-black 99th Pursuit Squadron, the "Tuskegee Airmen."

We hope to use this speech as a way to begin looking at the legacy of Lincoln and his memorial, and what the memorial has meant through the years in the context of civil rights.

Jimmy Carter: Champion for Human Rights: Students will explore how growing up in a small, rural, culturally diverse community in Southwest Georgia during the Great Depression helped shape the life, character, values and ultimately the political policies of Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States and Nobel Peace Prize winner. President Carter has been an untiring champion of human rights, and through the use of photographs, oral history and documents in the museum's collection, students will draw conclusions of how they, too, can make a difference locally, nationally, and internationally.

Ulysses S. Grant: A President Committed to Civil Rights: Students will have the opportunity to examine President Ulysses S.

This program will discuss segregation and the political ramifications of the DePriest tea. The program will draw from Herbert and Lou Hoover's papers, letters from the public, oral history interviews, memoirs from White House staff, newspapers, and political cartoons. Teachers can request access to all of the primary source materials, summative assessments, and lesson plans, which are digitized and in a Google folder.
March 17, 2015: President Woodrow Wilson House 9:00-9:50am and 1:00-1:50pm CST
Woodrow Wilson and the League of Nations: Woodrow Wilson served as our 28th President from 1913 to 1921, a time of great challenges and changes regarding civil and human rights. President Wilson received the Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership in establishing the League of Nations at the end of World War I. The establishment of the League of Nations laid the foundation for the modern vision of global human rights. However, The League of Nations generated controversy. After a great national debate, ultimately the United States decided not to join the League. Only after World War II was the United States persuaded to join the United Nations, the successor to the League of Nations. The Wilson era saw many other events that affected civil and human rights, including the growth of the American labor movement, the institutionalization of racial segregation, the "Great Migration" of agricultural workers from the South to Northern cities, the restriction of civil rights during WWI, and the assimilation of a large and varied immigrant population. In his time, President Wilson framed many of the questions about civil and human rights that our nation continues to address today

During construction of the Pike Place MarketFront project, one group was especially interested in learning about the construction: the students at Pike Market Child Care and Preschool (PMCCP). Sellen partnered with the PMCCP in an educational campaign to teach the kids more about the construction happening next to their school.
The PMCCP is one of the many social services offered in the heart of Pike Place Market. It provides daycare, education and nutrition services to children of families in the downtown Seattle area, many of whom are Market employees. The PMCCP offers tuition assistance to nearly 75% of its enrollment, averaging about $300,000 a year.
Every Friday in September, the children of the PMCCP trekked over to the Market's Desimone Bridge to overlook the entire construction site to play, "Where's Rachel?" Rachel the pig is an iconic figurehead for Pike Place Market, so Sellen made a miniature replica of Rachel to hide in the construction site. Every time a child spotted the pig, Sellen donated $200 to the PMCCP for back-to-school supplies, tuition and meals. With this partnership, the children had an opportunity to learn more about construction while we were able to support a great cause.

'The Originals' Season 3: Joseph Morgan Taunts '#BloodTearsAndBetrayal' As Trouble With Their Children Looms
TAG:The Originals, The Originals Season 3, The Originals Joseph Morgan, Joseph Morgan, #BloodTearsAndBetrayal, The Trinity, Klaus Mikaelson
By Lovely Pao
"The Originals" Season 3 will head back to CW to delight their fans and give an awesome performance in the continuation of the Mikaelson saga led by the character you love and hate at the same time, Klaus Mikaelson, portrayed by Joseph Morgan.
In his Twitter account, the actor wrote: "Season 3 #TheOriginals is without a shadow of a doubt the the most dynamic, gripping and intoxicating season yet. #BloodTearsAndBetrayal." That statement made the fans go wild as they wait in anticipation for the season premiere. So, expect that there will be deaths, tears and of course backstabbing and a lot of jaw dropping twist and turns in the story.
Season 3 #TheOriginals is without a shadow of a doubt the the most dynamic, gripping and intoxicating season yet. #BloodTearsAndBetrayal — Joseph Morgan (@JosephMorgan) August 28, 2015
Design&Trend reported, "The Originals" Season 3 will reveal Rebekah, Elijah and Klaus' children who will pay them a visit in New Orleans.
Executive producer Julie Plec, disclosed to Entertainment Weekly that Season 3 will be filled with several flashback episodes which will show Elijah, Klaus and Rebekah's early years as bloodsucking vampires. Plec explained, "We have a whole series of flashbacks over the first chapter that tell the story of the Originals' first year as vampires before the word 'vampire' had even been assigned to them."
She said that going back to the past will make the viewers aware of the Mikaelson siblings learning what their capabilities are, where they could blend and in and what they can do to adopt the breeding of a cultured and rich family despite the fact that they were shabby Vikings on the run.
Incorporated within those blast-from-the-past scenes are the origin story of each of the siblings' children collectively known as The Trinity, as what fans will see in Season 3.
Plec added, "we understand why The Trinity themselves might have reason to be a little pissed off at our hero family." Furthermore, Joseph Morgan commented on the arrival of their children in New Orleans.
Morgan said, "There's also this element that it's not just the three of them but they're in contact with a lot of the sire line for each of us so it's like, 'Hey, remember us? All those vampires that you turned who you've now abandoned? Well guess what, we're not too happy about that and here's why.'"
Klaus's progeny, Lucien, is described as charming, smart and a wildly successful vampire who praised himself on always being two steps ahead from anybody else, as per Entertainment Weekly.
Watch "The Originals" Season 3 on CW on Oct. 8, Thursday back-to-back with the season premiere of "The Vampire Diaries" Season 7.

I always think girls are so easy to buy presents for, there are so many things in life that we need, want and wish for, that it would be humanly impossible to buy it all... Therefore, that leaves a constant rolling gift list for anyone who wishes to spoil us!
Men on the other hand are a totally different kettle of fish! Simply because if they want something they buy it...meaning their wish list is near non-existent! They're generally not nearly as obsessed by fashion magazines, blogs, online shopping or celebrities and therefore rarely seem to experience that feeling of all consuming want, need and I HAVE TO HAVE THAT IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW! I can safely say us Mice feel this every week, if not every day!
The last few weeks have been filled with ticking off our present list for our friends and sisters and leaving the best til last...Daddy Mouse! The one male in the world that is very hard to please with a present, when he says 'I would prefer it if you didn't get me anything,' he probably means it and to be honest it would be way easier if we just listened to him! But it's Christmas, we can't just leave him off the present list no matter how Scrooge-like he's being! So every year we strive to find that one thing that he really, really wants but doesn't yet know it!
However during our all-consuming quest for the perfect Daddy Mouse gift, we've come across a few gems which we thought were perfect presents...just not for him!
He can boil the kettle from anywhere in your house at the click of a button from his iPhone! When his alarm goes off in the morning his phone will immediately ask if he would like to boil the kettle and similarly as he arrives home from a hard day at work!! No more missing vital moments of the match whilst waiting for the kettle to boil, no more coming in from the garden before your cuppa's ready...it's all about the iKettle!!
Any fitness conscious boy (or girl for that matter) will love this little gadget, in fact it may also be just the thing to kick start a new year fitness obsession in those less fitness driven as well! This little band monitors and measures all your movements - it counts your steps, measures the intensity of your workouts and even lets you track your sleep patterns. You can link this up to your phone and get real time progress updates at any time!
You can't beat an expensive, luxurious aftershave and Tom Ford always does them best! You definitely can't skimp on fragrance - chuck that Old Spice away NOW, and you even get an after shave balm with this set from Selfridges! Win, win!
A concept that every guy will instantly get and love (while us less tech-savy Mice will scratch our heads over but still very much enjoy...)! In a nutshell, it's a way to play your digital music collection in every room from any device. Think iTunes, Spotify, radio stations etc and stream all your favourite music across these from one platform. You can control this on any device - your phone, tablet or computer and manage the music each room is playing at the click of a button! Get it?! Probably not but I can guarantee he'll love it...check out the video here which explains it all much better!!

Sabres release training camp roster, schedule; 37 players to participate
On Friday, the Buffalo Sabres will touch the KeyBank Center ice for the first time in 296 days and begin preparing for the most unusual of seasons.
The NHL will be attempting to play during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it will likely experience problems – positive tests, postponements or even cancellations – as the schedule unfolds.
But those potential roadblocks can be examined another day. The Sabres' 10-month break is nearly over. Training camp officially begins Thursday, when players report for testing and physicals.
Thirty-seven players – 20 forwards, 12 defensemen and five goalies – comprise the camp roster the Sabres released Monday. They have 11 days of practices or scrimmages scheduled before their Jan. 14 season opener against the Washington Capitals, with the first session coming Saturday morning.
So in three days, Sabres captain Jack Eichel, whose dynamic play generated MVP talk last season, might be sharing the ice with newcomer Taylor Hall, the 2017-18 Hart Trophy winner.
If the stars become linemates – they will likely be given every chance – coach Ralph Krueger could possess one of the NHL's best duos.
Despite having last qualified for the playoffs in 2011, the Sabres have generated excitement by signing Hall and trading for former 40-goal scorer Eric Staal.
The Sabres haven't skated as a group since March 11, shortly before they flew to Montreal for a game that would never be played.
Some other notes on the roster:
– Defenseman Casey Nelson, who has played 93 games for the Sabres since 2016, has opted out of the season, the team confirmed.
As part of the NHL's return to play, the league and NHL Players' Association agreed to allow players to opt out if they're concerned about the coronavirus.
Nelson, 28, was expected to be a depth player this season, possibly on the taxi squad or in Rochester, where he spent the entire 2019-20 season with the Americans.
– Two notable prospects who have been playing in their native Finland this season – goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and defenseman Oskari Laaksonen – aren't listed on the roster.
– The Sabres placed forward Jean-Sebastien Dea on waivers Monday, according to reports.
Dea, 26, is entering the second season of a two-year, one-way contract worth $1.4 million.
The Sabres, of course, would probably like to shed Dea's $700,000 salary. Teams have until noon Tuesday to claim him.
Dea enjoyed a strong season with the Amerks last year, leading the AHL affiliate in both goals (15) and points (39) in 57 games. He went pointless in three contests with the Sabres.
The AHL has targeted Feb. 5 to start its season.
Dea has also played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and New Jersey Devils.
– Forward prospect Arttu Ruotsalainen, who scored a league-best 16 goals and 27 points in 19 games in Liiga earlier this season, will be participating in his second NHL training camp.
Ruotsalainen's contract stipulated the Sabres had to send him back to Ilves, his Finnish team, last season because he did not make the NHL. He can play in the minors this season.
– Top forward prospects Dylan Cozens and Jack Quinn, who are representing Team Canada at the World Junior Championship, aren't listed on the roster. They are expected to join camp after the tournament.
– NHL teams can field a 23-man roster and a taxi squad of four to six players this season. The extra players do not count toward the $81.5 million salary cap.
Here is the complete training camp roster:
Forwards: Rasmus Asplund, Brandon Biro, Cody Eakin, Eichel, Steven Fogarty, Zemgus Girgensons, Hall, Curtis Lazar, Casey Mittelstadt, Brett Murray, Andrew Oglevie, Kyle Okposo, Victor Olofsson, Sam Reinhart, Tobias Rieder, Ruotsalainen, Jeff Skinner, C.J. Smith, Eric Staal and Tage Thompson.
Defensemen: Will Borgen, Jacob Bryson, Rasmus Dahlin, Brandon Davidson, Casey Fitzgerald, Matt Irwin, Henri Jokiharju, Jake McCabe, Colin Miller, Brandon Montour, Rasmus Ristolainen and Mattias Samuelsson.
Goalies: Michael Houser, Carter Hutton, Jonas Johansson, Dustin Tokarski and Linus Ullmark.
Here is the complete camp schedule:
Friday: Gold Group: 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Blue Group: 3:30 to 5 p.m.
Saturday: Gold Group: 10 to 11:30 a.m.
Sunday: Gold Group: 10 to 11:30 a.m.
Jan. 4: Blue vs. Gold scrimmage: 1 p.m.
Jan. 5: Day Off
Jan. 6: Gold Group: 10 to 11:30 a.m.

Management strategies Safe transfer of germplasm STOG clonal crops General principles
General principles underpinning safe transfer of tissue cultured clonal germplasm
Contributors to this section: CIP, Lima, Peru (Carols Chuquillanqui, Segundo Fuentes, Ivan Manrique, Giovanna Muller, Willmer Pérez, Reinhard Simon, David Tay); CIP, Nairobi, Kenya (Ian Barker); FERA, UK (Derek Tomlinson, Julian Smith, David Galsworthy, James Woodhall).
General and technical recommendations
Over a ten year period beginning in the late 1980s, FAO/IBPGR commissioned a number of Technical Guidelines intended for the safe movement of small quantities of crop plant germplasm between countries for the use in breeding, research and germplasm conservation and evaluation programmes. Occasionally, in response to pest and disease epidemics, larger quantities of disease resistant/tolerant germplasm were transferred for incorporation into rapid multiplication schemes to replace crop plants lost to disease. An example of this has been the shipment of Cassava mosaic disease resistant cassava clones from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) for incorporation into the multiplication programmes of a number of African countries to replace cassava destroyed in the 1990's Cassava mosaic disease pandemic.
Few of the guidelines have been revised since their publication and information has become dated, particularly in relation to diagnostics. Furthermore, it is accepted, given the now almost universal access to internet resources, that a new approach involving a web-based database will be more appropriate than the existing guides. Such a database can be more readily updated by designated crop plant and pest and disease specialists, resulting in a more robust document that will remain relevant. There is thus a need to update the guides.
These changes withstanding, the principles outlined by Jeffries' (1998) in the technical guide for the safe movement of potato germplasm still apply and require only minor modifications before applying to the movement of other germplasm.
These guidelines apply to tissue cultured clonally cultivated species (Solanum, Manihot, Musa, Ipomoea and Dioscorea) and are intended for use by research workers and specialised institutions engaged in plant breeding, germplasm conservation and evaluation.
International movement of germplasm must comply with the regulatory requirements of the countries involved. Prospecting activities for conservation must be based on prior consultation with the relevant plant protection organisations (PPOs) and a knowledge of organisms in the relevant countries.
Information exchange between exporter and importer must be sufficiently transparent for a full evaluation of the pest risk. Wherever possible, material should be selected from the least risk source, e.g. an institution which maintains pathogen-tested germplasm. Indexing procedures and precautions taken to prevent infection and contamination of the germplasm after testing should be documented, e.g. in a 'Germplasm Health Statement'.
Growing of untested germplasm outside effective containment and/or isolation is not recommended. Collecting and conservation activities must be preceded by establishing the nearest point where the material can be placed in quarantine containment.
Movement of pathogen-tested stem cuttings is not recommended because of the risk of the material becoming infected after testing.
Pathogen-tested material should be derived from tested parents and maintained under conditions designed to prevent infection and contamination. Absence of pathogens should be established by applying appropriate indexing procedures and these should be verified as appropriate.
Risks can be reduced further by post-entry quarantine containment (e.g. insect-proof houses, out-of-season cultivation, growing in an isolated area with no links to the material involved) and quarantine testing. Post-entry quarantine containment/testing is a requirement in many countries. Some countries, however, will accept the testing done by specified countries as being equivalent to their own and accept material without the need for post-entry quarantine containment/testing. Untested or infected material must be managed so as not to be a risk to tested material.
The volume of consignments should not be larger than is necessary to preserve the genetic usefulness of the germplasm. In the case of vegetative material and seeds, quantities recommended are 1-10 plants and 20-200 seeds respectively. Increasing quantities may lead to resource problems in containment and testing.
Some PPOs stipulate that each unit (in vitro plantlet, seed/seedling and pollen-derived plant) of germplasm is tested individually for quarantine pests, whereas other authorities allow, particularly for seed, test results derived from bulked samples representative of the consigned germplasm.
Normally in vitro material contaminated with saprophytic organisms should be destroyed. However, where the material is rare or valuable, such contamination may be dealt with by appropriate treatments. Antibiotics and fungicides must not be added to the medium for shipment.
These recommendations are adapted from Jeffries, 1998. A number of International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) apply to he transit of clonal germplasm in international trade. Information by Seabrook and Coleman (1988) on the shipping of in-vitro material is still pertinent.

A confluence of factors is feeding demand for healthcare real estate, including robust domestic demand, related interest from investors outside the U.S. and relatively easy access to capital.
The rapidly ascending ambulatory sector—one of several trends impacting the undulating healthcare real estate landscape—is feeding a booming medical office market. That, in turn, has drawn increased foreign investment and loosened the purse strings on a vast supply of capital that also has fueled construction and mergers and acquisitions.

Previously we showed out the specifications of Motorola Moto X+1 (X2). Now popular leaker @evleaks released out the Images of this device.
Leaked image is probably of US carrier Verizon. The notable features are the metal band around device, wooden back option and the speaker alignment as of Moto E.
It also has two sensors at bottom of display and we are unknown what they are used for.
Looks like the standard LED flash lights have been replaced by two small sized on left and right side of camera.
Release Dates looks like in mid of September apparently 17th September which is still not confirmed.

With everything going on in your life, it's important to get and stay focused.
The best ways to do that is getting your mindset in the right place.
And one of the best times to do that is in the morning.
Take my vitamins, do some exercise, throw in a little meditation. It was somewhat organized and got much more focused once I read The Miracle Morning.
I heard about The Miracle Morning from multiple dad's in The Dad Edge Alliance, an online group of dad's looking to improve themselves.
This was the formula I had been looking for. And I'm gonna share a summary with you so you can get started too.
It uses the acronym S.A.V.E.R.S. to keep everything organized and simple to follow.
Your morning might be rushed, hectic, stressful… or it may be slow, lazy, and lethargic.
Your mind has this almost constant internal chatter about what you have to do, where you have to go, what you forgot to do, that you're running late…. and it goes on and on.
This is the time to get focused.
Relax your mind and body, calm your spirit, and be totally present and open to receiving the benefits of silence.
You could try meditating, deep breathing, praying, or practicing gratitude.
As you try to quiet your mind, thoughts will still come in. Just acknowledge them, then let them go away, and re-focus on feeling your breaths go in and out.
If it's hard to sit still and clear your mind, that's exactly the reason why you need to do it!
You are constantly talking to yourself whether you know it or not.
Most of it's coming from your subconscious mind – your past good and bad experiences that replay over and over.
You must stop focusing on what you're doing wrong, being too hard on yourself, and causing guilt, low self worth, and undeserving of the success you really want. You're essentially programming yourself for mediocrity.
Affirmations or AfFORMations help you align with what you want to accomplish and who you need to be to accomplish it. They make an impression on your subconscious mind.
Click here if you want to learn how to create your own affirmations or afformations, and why I like afFORMations better.
This one has been the toughest for me. If I start thinking too much into the future, it creates mild anxiety because I'm not there yet.
As with anything, it takes simple and consistent steps to improve – and that's what I'm doing with visualization.
Instead of thinking too far into the future, I visualize my day and how I want that to progress.
The basic premise is the same whether you're visualizing your day or 3 months from now.
First, visualize what you really want.
See yourself accomplishing what you set out to do, and experience how good it will feel to have achieved it.
Second, visualize WHO you need to be and WHAT you need to do.
See yourself living in total alignment with the person you need to be. See yourself enjoying the process, smiling, filled with pride.
I'm not spending a lot of time on this one because you know how important exercise is.
Exercise in the morning has multiple benefits, most notably getting blood flowing throughout your body (and to your brain) so you'll be more productive in your day.
Exercise in the morning before the day wears you out.
Before you have a chance to get too tired.
Before you have an entire day to come up with new excuses to avoid exercise.
If you read a minimum of 10 pages per day, you'll average 3,650 pages a year which is 18 200-page personal development books.
How big of an effect do you think that will have on your life!?
You could also re-read good personal development books.
Reading certain ideas, strategies, or techniques over and over again gets them ingrained in your subconscious mind.
You can do this in a traditional written format, or use an app or digital format.
This activity has become one of my favorite parts of The Miracle Morning.
The Miracle Morning has been the best habit I've built this year, and I encourage you to start building this habit tomorrow morning.
This is one more step to help you take control of your day, health, and life.
If you want to see my and my wife's specific Miracle Morning routine, click here and check it out.
It may give you different ideas to incorporate it into your life, showing you how to customize to it your lifestyle.

Roots of the Catholic Worker Movement: Distributism: Ownership of the Means of Production and Alternative to the Brutal Global Market
October 1, 1999 by Mark and Louise Zwick
The plight of workers throughout the world is at a crisis stage. Many are not only working for slave wages, but have been removed from their own communities and local economics and left desperate.
The Business pages of the Houston Chronicle of August 1, 1999, featured several entire pages on the economic devastation of Latin America in 1999, exactly like that of Asia in 1997. It is incredible that the reporter could quote "experts" as pointing out that the hope for these countries was more "economic reform," in the shape of the very structural adjustment and austerity programs, combined with speculation in the stock market which had devastated the economies in the first place.
This appalling situation makes the study of the roots of the Catholic Worker movement more relevant than ever.
It is very much in the tradition of Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin to write about economics. Under the editorship of Dorothy Day, the Catholic Worker criticized an unbridled capitalism which put the majority of money and resources in the hands of a few big corporations and individuals. The Catholic Workers not only disagreed with industrial capitalism on a massive scale, but presented an alternative economics called distributism-a person-centered economics.
Person-Centered Economics
As personalists, Catholic Workers believed there had to be a better way than to have the world run by Standard Oil, General Motors and Henry Ford (today we have the global market, giant corporations, sweatshops, maquiladoras).
Peter and Dorothy recommended the works of G. K. Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc and Fr. Vincent McNabb, O.P., on distributism and R. H. Tawney on capitalism, and their ideas were published in the paper. These writers insisted that all people were created in the image and likeness of God, and should not be treated like cogs in a machine or made to work twelve hours a day in back-breaking work as wage slaves (in coal mines, for example), while large corporations and their directors became fabulously wealthy.
Chesterton, theorist of person-centered economics and critic of the excesses of capitalism, shared the views of the Catholic Workers. He knew that the opinions of Henry Ford (who said that most people preferred the mechanical action of the assembly line and were only fitted for it), were against Catholic teaching on the dignity of the human person. Ford made it clear that most people were not smart enough to do anything except repetitious work. As Chesterton put it in The Outline of Sanity, "It will be noted that Mr. Ford does not say that he is only fitted to mind machines."
Chesterton argued that the Catholic Church taught that every human being was worth saving. He insisted on "respect for the humanity and dignity of ordinary, shabby, ignorant people." (Margaret Canovan, G. K. Chesterton: Radical Populist, New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1977, p. 9).
Property for Everyone
After extensive discussion of distributism, people still ask, "Just exactly what is it?" The word and the answer come from the idea that a just social order can be achieved through a much more widespread distribution of property. Distributism means a society of owners. It means that property belongs to the many rather than the few. It is related to the idea of subsidiarity, emphasized in all papal encyclicals relating to social teaching and economics. Subsidiarity, in the words of the Quadragesimo Anno, means that "It is an injustice and at the same time a great evil and disturbance of right order to assign to a greater and higher association what lesser and subordinate organizations can do. For every social activity ought of its very nature to furnish help to the members of the body social and never destroy and absorb them."
Peter and Dorothy also recommended subsidiarity. This meant they were opposed to big government. They were also opposed to massive government programs to care for the poor, believing that Christians should care for others in need. However, neither were they in favor of privatizing all government programs and passing laws to increase the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of the few or in huge corporations, at the same time as taking away the opportunities of the poor to be self-sustaining.
Dorothy described it this way: "The aim of distributism is family ownership of land, workshops, stores, transport, trades, professions, and so on. Family ownership in the means of production so widely distributed as to be the mark of the economic life of the community-this is the Distributist's desire. It is also the world's desire. (Catholic Worker, June, 1948).
The CW Program
In The Long Loneliness, Dorothy spelled out the way in which distributism was at the heart of the Catholic Worker program: "As Peter pointed out, ours was a long-range program, looking for ownership by the workers of the means of production, the abolition of the assembly line, decentralized factories, the restoration of crafts and ownership of property. This meant, of course, an accent on the agrarian and rural aspects of our economy and a changing emphasis from the city to the land" (The Long Loneliness, San Francisco: Harper and Row, 1952 p. 221).
While Peter emphasized aiming for the ownership of the means of production, he spoke just as strongly about "acceptance of the responsibility it entailed" (LL, p. 222).
The economics of the Catholic Worker was rooted in the Gospel and in the papal encyclicals, beginning with Rerum Novarum. Workers and distributists believed in ownership of property, but property for everyone, including the means of production. They knew that owners would benefit and business would benefit if workers had a sense of responsibility and ownership of the work they did-worker ownership paid off with better production.
One of the keystones of the three-point program that Peter Maurin presented to Dorothy when they met in 1932, in addition to cult and culture, was cultivation.
In The Long Loneliness, Dorothy reported that, "Every talk of Peter's about the social order led to the land. He spoke always as a peasant, but as a practical one. He knew the craving of the human heart for a toehold on the land, for a home of one's own, but he also knew how impossible it was to attain it except through community." (LL, p. 224). Because of this, Peter suggested farming communes, credit unions, cooperatives.
One hope for the survival of family farms in the face of the competitive edge of agribusiness is in cooperatives where farmers bond together to sell their products.
The Catholic Worker recommended setting up farms and many were started. Catholic Worker lore and legend tend to denigrate the farms because they were not run like model, mechanized farms of the time. The experience of families on the farms was often difficult, because of lack of knowledge of farming, and of money and equipment. However, they were an important part of the attempt to live out the principles of distributism.
It was not easy to finance the beginning of family farms or communal farms. By the time Dorothy Day published The Long Loneliness, Peter had died. She explained his ideas in her book (p. 225), always acknowledging him as the theorist of the movement: "Peter's plan was that groups should borrow from mutual-aid credit unions in the parish to start what he first liked to call agronomic universities, where the worker could become a scholar and the scholar a worker. Or he wanted people to give the land and money. He always spoke of giving.
Those who had land and tools should give. Those who had capital should give. Those who had labor should give that. 'Love is an exchange of gifts,' St. Ignatius had said."
Peter Maurin, who so often spoke of living according to Gospel simplicity, also spoke of a philosophy of work. He recommended this philosophy to young married couples related to the Catholic Worker: "Man should earn his living by the sweat of his brow…and a gentleman, truly speaking, is one who does not live on the sweat of someone else's brow" (LL). For this reason, and because of teachings of the Bible and the Fathers of the Church, Peter was against usury and speculation.
As Dorothy said, "Peter was no dreamer, but knew men as they were. That is why he spoke so much of the need for a philosophy of work. Once they had that, once their desires were changed, half the battle was won (LL, p. 226).
The distribution of land today is not more just than when Dorothy and Peter wrote about it in the '30's. In fact, larger portions of land than ever are in the hands of the few. Enormous agribusinesses crowd out family farms.
The Catholic Bishops of Ohio and the Bishops of Nebraska have both published statements about the crisis for small farmers. The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace document,Toward a Better Distribution of Land, addresses the extreme inequalities regarding ownership of land around the world.
Archbishop Oscar Romero, martyred in El Salvador, where fourteen families own all the land, said one could discuss and argue many things, but when one touches the land, it calls forth its martyrs.
What is Capitalism?
Chesterton knew that when most people spoke of capitalism, they had in mind something quite different than a few very wealthy people controlling everything. To clarify for his readers what he was criticizing, he first described the situation where a few people hold the wealth and all others struggle: "When I say 'Capitalism,' I commonly mean something that may be stated thus: 'That economic condition in which there is a class of capitalists roughly recognizable and relatively small, in whose possession so much of the capital is concentrated as to necessitate a very large majority of the citizens serving those capitalists for a wage." He emphasized that others had something quite different in mind when they spoke of capitalism: "The word… is used by other people to mean quite other things. Some people seem to mean merely private property. Others suppose that capitalism must mean anything involving the use of capital.
"If capitalism means private property, I am capitalist. If capitalism means capital, everybody is capitalist. But if capitalism means this particular condition of capital, only paid out to the mass in the form of wages, then it does mean something, even if it ought to mean something else.
"The truth is that what we call Capitalism ought to be called Proletarianism. The point of it is not that some people have capital, but that most people only have wages because they do not have capital."
When Chesterton wrote about the enormous discrepancies in income and wealth of the haves and have nots, it sounded as if he were speaking of today's world:
"To say that I do not like the present state of wealth and poverty is merely to say that I am not the devil in human form. No one but Satan or Beelzebub could like the present state of wealth and poverty" (G.K. Chesterton, The Outline of Sanity, London, Methuen and Co., pp. 108, 151, 148).
Dorothy Day also wrote about the discrepancy between what the average person believed capitalism meant and the reality. The average person hoped and believed "that the capitalist system, unlike Communism, meant that all were free to own, none compelled by law to labor." Dorothy pointed out that "popular magazines like Time and Saturday Evening Postare filled with the illustrations of these principles, which all admit are good, but unfortunately the stories told are not true. It is the reason why great trusts like the Standard Oil and General Motors have public relations men, why there is a propaganda machine for big business, to convert the public to the belief that capitalism really is based on good principles, distributists' principles, really is working out for the benefit of all, so that men have homes and farms and tools and pride in the job. Unfortunately, in practice under capitalism the many had not the opportunity of obtaining land and capital in any useful amount and were compelled by physical necessity to labor for the fortunate few who possessed these things. But the theory was all right. Distributists want to save the theory by bringing the practice in conformity with it." (Catholic Worker, June 1948).
Economic Democracy and Shared Ownership vs. "Democratic Capitalism"
Businesses are bigger than ever in the global market, the owners are in many cases anonymous, and the person finds it more difficult to find a secure place. In fact, the enormous growth of income for corporations and stockholders would seem to be directly related to worker insecurity.
As Randy Cohen wrote in the New York Times on June 20, 1999, "When a thief, having stolen your wallet, hands you back carfare, it's tough to mutter much of a thank you. Similarly, nice as it is that Bill Gates gives money to libraries, a decent country would tax Microsoft at a rate that lets cities buy their own books."
Contemporary writers like Wendell Berry voice the same concerns on economics and life that Peter Maurin and Dorothy Day expressed, and follow the same line of reasoning.
Berry, who appears to be a Catholic Worker at heart and who believes in economic democracy, says we are in trouble if we have an industrial economy–and he believes we do–"which is firmly founded on the seven deadly sins and the breaking of all ten of the Ten Commandments" (Sex, Economy, Freedom and Community, San Francisco: Pantheon Books, 1993).
The seven deadly or "capital" sins are pride, avarice, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony and sloth. The 10 Commandments you know, especially the sixth, which is used so much for advertisement to promote consumption.
Those who speak of and help to plan what they call "democratic capitalism" on a global scale do not inform the world of the totalitarian measures which are needed to enforce this type of "democracy." They do not mention, as does Wendell Berry, that "If you are dependent on people who do not know you, who control the value of your necessities, you are not free, you are not safe." (Sex, Economy, Freedom and Community).
The term "democratic capitalism" has been used as a euphemism for the global market. Those who speak of its glories do not mention the actual lack of freedom for local people and local governments in this market. The dictators who imposed these policies were propped up by soldiers trained at the School of the Americas in Georgia throughout the '80's.
Daniel Krotz, of the American Chesterton Society, recently commented, "Distributists believe that widespread ownership of property is the only guarantee democracy has against a dominant centralized state or unbridled monopoly capitalism. Distributism supports local government, stable traditions, and permanent, self-sufficient communities united against servitude and alienation." (http://www.chesterton.org.
In The Ownership Solution, Jeff Gates advocates "shared ownership." He points out that while free market advocates try to give the impression that their system is open to all, the reality is that the person who does not already have large quantities of capital cannot buy into it: "Policymakers routinely claim that capitalism is an 'open' system because anyone can purchase shares. It's a free market-anyone (i.e., anyone with money) can buy those new equities.
"Expecting a broad base of wage earners to buy their way into significant ownership (i.e., from their already stretched paychecks) is what I call 'Marie Antoinette Capitalism,' only instead of urging "Let them eat cake,' the modern refrain is 'Let them buy shares'" (Jeff Gates, The Ownership Solution, Addison-Wesley, 1998).
New Feudalism
Peter might have pointed out, as did R. H. Tawney in his books which Peter recommended to the readers of the Catholic Worker, that the situation of industrial capitalism in the twenties and thirties, like that of today's global market, was very like feudalism, in terms of the wealth of the few and the hard labor of the many who serve them in factories around the world. This past spring, Business Week reported that even in the U.S. the average top executive is making 419 times the pay of the average manufacturing worker.
E. F. Schumacher, writing in the 1970's, thought that perhaps world financial planners might be people of good will, who simply didn't understand. He hoped that the neocolonialism he saw growing throughout the developing world was unwitting (Shumacher, Small is Beautiful, New York: Harper Collins, 1975, 1989, p. 213).
However, the structural adjustment programs imposed by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund on developing countries during the '80's raise issues about the possibility of good will, or at least a great lack of wisdom regarding loans and debt payments.
Structural adjustment programs require developing countries to devalue their currency, open up to world markets and privatize government programs. "Opening up to world markets" means they can no longer grow food for their people, but only for export, and then purchase imported food at higher prices. International agribusiness has been consistently favored in this process, along with deforestation of land to plant crops for export.
The campaigns of the Vatican and non-profit groups to forgive the external debt built up in the '80's as a part of celebration of the Jubilee year 2000 have brought the problems of neocolonialism to the public's attention. The debt forgiveness agreements to date unfortunately involve forgiveness of a small part of the debt for only certain countries and include continued harsh structural adjustment measures to be imposed on the few countries involved.
Multinational companies and the World Trade Organization are the most powerful forces in the world today. They are stronger than any country or combination of countries, beholden to no one. There is no national conscience or international conscience that can inhibit them.
Speaking against the adoption of the GATT trade agreements, which have since been passed and converted into the World Trade Organization, Wendell Berry wrote,
"What these proposals actually propose is a revolution as audacious, far-reaching and, as sudden as any the world has seen. Their purpose is to bypass all local, state, and national governments in order to subordinate the interests of those governments and of the people they represent to the interests of a global "free" market run by a few supranational corporations" (Sex, Economy, Freedom and Community, p. 48-50
The control of the WTO extends to such unheard-of areas as the robbery and patenting by neocolonial multinational companies of the plants and seeds developed in poorer countries over centuries. This patenting through the WTO means that those who developed the seeds will no longer be able to use them. (See An Introduction to the WTO Agreements,Mayaysia: Third World Network, 1998).
What is the GDP?
Statistics and figures are used to show that in spite of lack of participation of the people in decision-making, in spite of the destruction of small business by international trade agreements, economies in various countries are still doing well. Much is attributed to a figure called the GDP, or the gross domestic product… It is fascinating to read in The Ownership Solution of the various statistics which enter into this mysterious figure of the GDP: "Nowadays, the implicit assumption is that people are better off when spending is on the rise. That makes for certain perverse measures of progress. The cleanup expense of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the costs of the O. J. Simpson murder trial, outlays for prison construction and rising fees paid divorce lawyers-each implies real progress. Working longer hours may require that parents shift childcare from the home to a paid day care center, suggesting a rise in GDP but possibly a lower quality of life for both parent and child. Costs and benefits are given equal weight. Income and expense, even assets and liabilities-all are washed out by a measure that translates any dollar-denominated exhange into an economic "good," even if those exchanges reflect a weakening of the social glue that binds the nation together. It can even signal rising prosperity (because more money is changing hands) while much of the population is losing ground" (p. 321-322).
Dorothy Day Criticized
Dorothy explained why perhaps other Catholics would not understand the Catholic Workers and even reported them to the Bishop: "We were not taking the position of the great mass of Catholics, who were quite content with the present in this world. They were quite willing to give to the poor, but they did not feel called upon to work for the things of this life for others which they themselves esteemed so lightly. Our insistence on worker-ownership, on the right of private property, on the need to de-proletarize the worker, all points which had been emphasized by the Popes in their social encyclicals, made many Catholics think we were Communists in disguise, wolves in sheep's clothing."
Dorothy continued, "The Vatican paper warned us recently of regarding Americanism or Communism as the only two alternatives. It is hard to see why our criticism of capitalism should have aroused such protest" (William Miller, Dorothy Day: a Biography, Harper and Row, 1982, p. 428).
Dorothy quoted Joseph T. Nolan from Orate Fratres on the support of Popes for the CW position: "Too long has idle talk made out of Distributism as something medieval and myopic, as if four modern popes were somehow talking nonsense when they said: the law should favor widespread ownership (Leo XIII); land is the most natural form of property (Leo XIII and Pius XII); wages should enable a man to purchase land (Leo XIII and Pius XI); the family is most perfect when rooted in its own holding (Pius XII); agriculture is the first and most important of all the arts and the tiller of the soil still represents the natural order of things willed by God (Pius XII) (Catholic Worker, July-Aug. 1948).
Some tried to dismiss Peter Maurin. He, seeing all the problems of an economy based on consumerism and the accumulation of wealth by the few, made it clear that he did not support that system: "I told them I am the son of a peasant and so pre-capitalistic. I don't like capitalism and I don't like socialism, which is the child of capitalism" (Arthur Sheehan, Peter Maurin, Hanover House, p. 191).
Superstition of the "Invisible Hand"
Since Adam Smith, the proponents of wealth creation have promised heaven on earth if their ideas were followed: Just believe religiously in the market and allow it absolute freedom, then salvation will come. It is hard to imagine a heaven where one's creativity and destiny are squandered working on an assembly line or at MacDonald's.
Pope Pius XII went so far as to call the idea that the invisible hand of the market will on its own rather like fate control the world, a "superstition. (Dorothy Day, "Distributism vs. Capitalism," Catholic Worker, October 1954).
Adam Smith vs. Centesimus Annus
The Catholic tradition has always taught the importance of working toward the common good. Adam Smith, in opposition to this teaching, advocated self-interest as the motivation for one's life. He added the adjective, "enlightened," to the phrase, (whatever that means). Unfortunately, economic developments which today take place on the global level in the name of Adam Smith's philosophy have excluded any idea of "enlightened." Peter Maurin, by contrast, "talked about Christ's technique, of working from the bottom and with the few, of self-discipline and self-organization, of sacrifice rather than enlightened self-interest…." (LL, p. 221).
Some neoconservatives have claimed that with the fall of communism/state socialism, the capitalism of the global market is the only choice left. They apparently neglected to read #35, where the Holy Father writes that there are not just two alternatives: "We have seen that it is unacceptable to say that the defeat of so-called "Real Socialism" leaves capitalism as the only model of economic organization. It is necessary to break down the barriers and monopolies which leave so many countries on the margins of development, and to provide all individuals and nations with the basic conditions which will enable them to share in development."
Even Elephants Need Parents
It is impossible for most families to survive or to maintain their lifestyle without two salaries in today's economy.
The authors recently saw a special program on public television about elephants and rhinos. The adult, parent elephants had all been taken away from the group because of overpopulation. Only "child" elephants remained. They grew up without role models.
When later these young, now "teenage" elephants went on a rampage, killing twenty per cent of the neighboring rhinos (a bizarre behavior for elephants), the problem could only be solved by bringing in adult elephants to live with the young ones.
Many children in 1999 do not have a parent at home to guide them, either, and many parents have little time to devote to sharing their wisdom.
What about the Children?
As Daniel Krotz says it, "to suggest that the economic system has an impact on the culture brings out the "Capitalist as Victim" strategy: it's not the fault of the capitalist system that families are falling apart, that small children are warehoused for 8 or more hours a day, or that the majority of high school students can't locate their state capitals on a map: 'Hey, it's not my fault! It's the culture.'
As E. F. Schumacher said over 30 years ago, 'What is at stake is not economics but culture, not the standard of living, but the quality of life" (Small is Beautiful, p. 278).
Wendell Berry reminds us that we have the right to what we need and no more, and that that is why usury is outlawed in the Old Testament. Large accumulations of wealth and real estate are forbidden in the twenty-fifth chapter of Leviticus. Berry also reminds us that "The world is being destroyed, no doubt about it, by the greed of the rich and powerful. It is also being destroyed by popular demand." (Sex, Economy, Freedom and Community, p. 96, 32).
For all practical purposes we have in place again atheistic materialism, even though lip-service may be paid to God and other concerns.
The acquisition of wealth and material things has become the highest goal in the world, a world in which economics takes priority over all else. Economics is actually all that exists.
Dorothy Day objected strongly to the totally materialistic life style dominating our culture. She talked about the need for a revolution-a revolution of the heart-to break away from the grip of materialism that tries to overthrow us and our values and take possession of our souls. She said: "We are all guilty of concupiscence (desires of the flesh), but newspapers, radio, TV and the battalion of advertising people (Woe to that generation!) deliberately stimulate our desires."
For her, to tempt people constantly and to barrage them with advertisement is immoral and unethical. One of the greatest sins, she says, is "to instill in the heart of the worker paltry desire, so compulsive that he or she is willing to sell liberty and honor to satisfy them."
Wendell Berry outlines the clear connection between the commandment against adultery and advertisement:
"To make sex the preferred bait of commerce may seem merely the obvious thing to do, once greed is granted its now conventional priority as a motive… Television is the greatest disrespecter and exploiter of sexuality that the world has ever seen; even if the network executives decide to promote" safe sex" and the use of condoms, they will not cease to pimp for the exceedingly profitable "sexual revolution." (p. 124, 133).
Even our wars (as Dorothy Day pointed out years ago) have to do with promoting our economics and consumer life styles and acquiring land rich in resources (e.g., oil).
JPII Asks us to Change our Lifestyles
Pope John Paul II challenged us all to change our very lives when he wrote in Centesimus Annus: "Love for others, and in the first place love for the poor, in whom the Church sees Christ himself, is made concrete in the promotion of justice… It is not merely a matter of 'giving from one's surplus,' but of helping entire peoples which are presently excluded or marginalized to enter into the sphere of economic and human development. For this to happen, it is not enough to draw on the surplus goods which in fact our world abundantly produces, it requires above all a change of life-styles, of models of production and consumption, and of the established structures of power which today govern society" (#58).
Present-day Examples
Dorothy Day explained that while distributism had an agrarian emphasis, that "does not mean that everyone must be a farmer" (Catholic Worker, July-Aug. 1948).
The most famous example of worker-ownership and management in a successful business which is not agrarian is that of Mondragon in the Basque country in Spain.
Mondragon
The inspiration for the Mondragon business(es) came from Don José María Arizmendiarietta, a priest who put the personalist philosophy into practice. Don José María never actually directed or worked at Mondragon, but encouraged and advised those who did so.
In a recent book, Fr. Greg MacLeod wrote about the success of Mondragon and how it "flies in the face of the Hobbes-Smith tradition which holds that the 'rational' economic person acts out of pure self-interest" (Greg MacLeod, From Mondragon to America: Experiments in Community Economic Development, Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada: Univ. College of Cape Breton Pr., 1997, p. 14).
The Mondragon business complex was set up in 1956 when five young engineers, inspired by the ideas of Don José María, set up a small enterprise to produce oil stoves. MacLeod's description of these early years is fascinating: "With the help of their former teacher and pastor, they borrowed some money and went into production following principles of democratic decision making, profit sharing and community responsibility…. This enterprise became successful in a very short time. When they needed further capital for expansion they formed a bank following the same principles of cooperative ownership. As each enterprise became successful and grew, it divided and sub-divided to create a complex of inter-related worker-owned enterprises that is still growing" (From Mondragon, p. 19-20).
The vision of Mondragon is different at its foundation than most businesses. While Don José María "promoted the technical formation of workers and the introduction of world-class technology in order to survive in the competitive world," he never lost sight of the priority of the worker as a human person (p. 88). The principle of solidarity is key at Mondragon, requiring members to share in good times and bad, and to work toward the common good of the whole society. Don José María believed that sale price could not be merely a question of commercial circumstances, but must take into account the common good. He also insisted that the role of industrial corporations, remaining subordinated to the common good, being socially responsible, must not be political. As MacLeod says, "He saw the danger that the corporation could become totalitarian, and try to control all aspects of life." (From Mondragon, p. 89-90)
Distributism in Houston
Casa Juan Diego receives immigrants and refugees every day who have been unable to survive in their countries in this "free" global market. Many risk all to have one person work in another country so the family can survive and children can go to school. The 1987 Immigration Law, which provided amnesty for some immigrants, introduced penalties-large fines-for employers who hire the undocumented, but made a special provision for cooperatives. A cooperative hiring hall is in full operation at Casa Juan Diego, where undocumented men are able to work legally through this special provision. The City of Houston pays the salaries of two men to work at the Centro San Jose Obrero.
Christ the Good Shepherd parish has a farm where vegetables are grown to help Casa Juan Diego CW. Andy Wright has a garden at Casa Juan Diego and also raises chickens.
Race Mathews of Australia, in his G. K. Chesterton Memorial Lecture on May 27, 1999, made several recommendations on the implementation of the principles of distributism today:
1. Measures are needed to insure that small businesses are not crushed by larger ones, outlawing predatory pricing and other anti-competitive practices as well as unfair retail leases in large shopping complexes
2. Acknowledgment by government that agribusiness and smallholder farming-the authentic family farm–differ radically from one another and accordingly have different requirements in terms of public policy.
3. Every worker should own a share in the assets and control of the business in which he works. This can be implemented through ESOP's, mutualism and cooperatives which should reinvent themselves for new needs.
Our Hope is in Grace and Conversion of Heart
Dorothy described Peter's vision: "Peter rejoiced to see men do great things and dream great dreams. He wanted them to stretch out their arms to their brothers, because he knew that the surest way to find God, to find the good, was through one's brothers. Peter wanted this striving to result in a better physical life in which all men would be able to fulfill themselves, develop their capacities for love and worship, expressed in all the arts. He wanted them to be able to produce what was needed in the way of homes, food, clothing, so that there was enough of these necessities for everyone.
"It was hard for me to understand what he meant, thinking as I always had in terms of cities and immediate need of men for their weekly pay check. Now I can see clearly what he was talking about, but I am faced with the problem of making others see it. I can well recognize the fact that people remaining as they are, Peter's program is impossible. But it would become actual, given a people changed in heart and mind, so that they would observe the new commandment of love, or desired to" (LL, p. 171).
Rebuilding the social order, renewing the face of the earth, cannot be done by human efforts alone. Dorothy often said that, "All is grace."
Centesimus Annus ends with the same theme: "…in order that the demands of justice may be met, and attempts to achieve this goal may succeed, what is needed is the gift of grace, a gift which comes from God. Grace, in cooperation with human freedom, constitutes that mysterious presence of God in history which is Providence" (#59).
But after these beautiful lines, John Paul II addresses again the fact that too many people live, "not in the prosperity of the Western world, but in the poverty of the developing countries amid conditions which are still 'a yoke little better than that of slavery itself' and challenges all of us to work to create a more just social order.

During a Wednesday conference call, UFC President Dana White officially confirmed that the largest mixed martial arts organization in the world will be launching a women's strawweight division. White also announced that The Ultimate Fighter will feature an all-women's season with strawweight fighters, and the winner will be crowned the champion of the new division.
The UFC began working towards establishing a women's strawweight division when they acquired the contracts of eleven strawweight fighters from Invicta FC in a deal that took approximately four weeks to negotiate.
On May 18th, that same group of fighters will head to Las Vegas to begin filming their season of TUF.
According to FOX Sports, those eleven fighters are Americans Carla Esparza, Felice Herrig, Emily Kagan, Rose Namajunas, Tecia Torres and Paige VanZant; Brazilians Claudia Gadelha and Juliana Lima; Australians Alex Chambers and Bec Hyatt; and Joanne Calderwood of Scotland.
This latest addition of the female strawweight division is just another indicator of the UFC's growing commitment to women's MMA.
