Q: Mapreduce execution in a hadoop cluster I am a bit confused about How exactly the Mapreduce works. I have read some articles but didn't get the proper answer.
Scenario:
I stored a file of size 1 TB on top of HDFS (Let's say it is stored at a location  /user/input/ ). Replication is 3 and the block size 128 MB.
Now, I want to analyze this 1TB file using mapreduce. Since the block size is 128 MB, I will have 8192 blocks in total.Considering I have 100 machines in the cluster then
Will 8192 map tasks will spawned on all the 100 nodes, evenly distributing the number of mappers ? Or it will run on only those nodes where replicated data is placed ?

A: Number of mappers to be run does not depend on number of nodes or blocks or any other thing they only depend on total number of input splits.
In database context an split might correspondence to range of rows.
Now it is possible that an block in HDfS is of 128 mb and size of input split is 256 mb in that case only 1 mapper will run over this input split which is covering 2 block.
 Now question arises how do input split is created
These splits are created by InputFormat class which contain getSplit and createrecordreader method which are responsible for creating splits and you can override these method if you want to change the way these splits are created.
These mappers job are started on different nodes of cluster but there is no guarantee that it will be evenly distributed. Mapreduce always try to give mapper job to a node which have local data to be processed. If that is not possible it will give mapper job to node with best resources.
Notice that input split do not contain actual data. They have reference to data. These stored location help mapredUce in assigning jobs.
I will suggest you to visit this link http://javacrunch.in/Yarn.jsp  it will give you a impression about how yarn work for job allocation. You can also visit this for internal working of map reduce http://javacrunch.in/MR.jsp.
Hope this solve your query

A: Number of Mappers depend on InputSplits and not on replication factor.
Refer to below post for understanding internals of InputSplits:
How does Hadoop process records split across block boundaries?
The number of mappers and reducers are decided by Hadoop Framework.
Refer to below post for more details:
Default number of reducers
For simplicity sake, assume that HDFS block and InputSplit are same without data spanning across multiple data nodes.
In your case, 1 TB file processing requires 8192 Maps. While starting Map task, map task tries to run Mapper on the node where data is present. 1 TB file of 8192 blocks may not have evenly distributed on 100 nodes. If they are evenly distributed on 100 nodes, Framework will run the map tasks on all 100 nodes. Data locality plays key role in selection of data node.

Defending champion Hsieh halts Hon in Hiroshima tussle
admin123 - September 11, 2019
HIROSHIMA, Japan — No.1 seed and defending champion Hsieh Su-wei of Chinese Taipei needed to use all of her wiles to overcome a stern test from Priscilla Hon of Australia on Wednesday and move into the Hana-Cupid Japan Women's Open quarterfinals with a 1-6, 7-6(2), 7-5 win.
Hon served for the match twice in the second set and once more in the third set, but World No.29 Hsieh staved off those chances each time to grind out a victory after two hours and ten minutes of topsy-turvy action and deny World No.123 Hon her first WTA quarterfinal of the season.
"In the first set, [Hon] was hitting so well, and I had no rhythm," Hsieh said, following the match. "I just couldn't get my game and style going. It was not a good situation for me! But the next two sets I got going."
33-year-old Hsieh, who also had a three-set tussle in her opening round, shook off a commanding first set by Hon and finished the match with a 73 percent success rate on Hon's second serve. Hon had 49 winners to Hsieh's 26, but the Australian ended the encounter with 55 unforced errors to Hsieh's 29.
Top seed Hsieh will meet Nao Hibino of Japan in the elite eight. Hibino advanced earlier on Wednesday when her opponent, 2017 champion and No.6 seed Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan, retired from their match while trailing, 6-1, 3-2, due to a lower back injury.
"I'm not thinking about that too much right now, but [Hibino is] a good player," Hsieh stated. "I need to recover, eat good, sleep good, prevent injuries – that's the best way to prepare. I am slowly picking up my game this week, so let's hope it gets going again for the match."

1.) Don't worry about competition: A lot of people worry about competitors coming along and stealing their ideas. As a result, many would-be entrepreneurs hesitate to ship. And stop. I started writing this update at 4:30AM. If my competitors want to beat me, they too can forgo sleep in favor of work.
2.) I owe you an apology: In my last update, I got really transparent and admitted that my Filmmaking Info business was doing terrible numbers. I even posted that I was negative $439 dollars for the year. After posting that, I got a lot of social shares and comments. And even though the feedback was good, I felt embarrassed and ashamed. So I deleted the post.
3.) Outside of the day-to-day stuff: One hinderance to success is not having a big enough reason WHY. I've written about the WHY factor before. But over the past weekend my wife and I sat down and forced ourselves to get clear on some longer term life goals. In short, we agreed that spending time with family is paramount. But in order to do it right, we need to buy our freedom. This means early retirement, with enough money in the bank to do what we want to do, when we want to do it.
4.) One more thought on goals: At the risk of sounding like some sort of new age wu-wu guru – I believe you need to create a vision for your future that is big and magical. Having this vision gives you a purpose and makes your day to day crap feel less crappy and a little more fun.
5.) Email campaigns. To the uninitiated, this simply means that I'm now using software that allows me to send specific messages to people based on interest and behavior. For example, lets say you're selling fruits on your website. Some people are there to buy apples. And some people are there to buy oranges. If you're doing a linear campaign, you'll typically send the same emails to everyone. Some days will focus on apples. Some days oranges.
But in a non-linear email campaign, you can create specific sequences based on what people like. One basic example is sending out an email where you say: Do you like apples or oranges? Then you ask them to click the link for whichever fruit they like more. If they click on apples, then the subscriber only gets emails about apples. Make sense?
In case your interested, the company I'm using and now getting paid to promote as an affiliate is Seva. The company was previously called Convertkit. My experience so far has been great. Prior to migrating to Seva, I used Aweber for a decade. And it have to admit, it is VERY challenging to go from a linear list based automation to non-linear automation.
Given the scary learning curve and the opportunity cost, I put off the migration for months. But after a few tests, it was the clean Seva interface and intuitive design that ultimately sold me. Find out more about Seva here.


We are builders of Nova Scotia coppice wood yurts, inspired by the Kyrgyz and Mongolian style yurts.
Each yurt is hand crafted and designed for the specific needs of our clients. Our yurts are made with green wood and natural materials so they do require the owner taking an active part in maintaining the yurt. Oiling the frame, brushing the canvas and taking it down when not in use is an important part of preserving and lengthening the life of a cotton covered yurt.
Yurt owners find many uses for their yurts, such as a studio, guesthouse, classroom or workshop space, gazebo, retreat and meditation centre, family camping, vacation cottage, or for a permanent home.
What makes our yurts so special?
By following the traditional design it allows our clients to set up and dismantle with ease.
We are the only yurt producer using breathable natural membranes; cotton canvas and felt insulation. The beneifts include significantly less condensation, no off gassing, more aesthetically pleasing, lighter, and easier to repair. Multiple layers of semi-permeable membranes ensure 100% weather protection.
Our yurts use the traditional central Asian design, which gives you one third more roof poles than modern style yurt companies.
Coppice wood has five times the strength compared to the same dimension of sawn lumber. Shown here, two yurt building workshop participants demonstrate the strength of a steam bent ash yurt wheel.
Hardwoods provide the strength and density to enable our yurt frame to last a lifetime.
Our yurt walls utilise a thick and strong wall pole. We use clear ash for our large yurts and clear spruce for our small yurts. Each piece is individually steam bent which is the only way to create a circle wall trellis with this kind of strength.
Our yurts do not use complicated fixtures or fittings. The roof pole end fits into a burnt mortice hole and uses high quality locally made dacron rope for the loop on the opposite end.
Ancient green wood working tools including the drawknife, billhook and froe are used to fashion our yurts.
Our yurts do not use complicated fixtures or fittings. As shown is this image, each roof pole fits on any wall cross over.
The natural materials used at Little Foot Yurts; wood, wool & coconut husk fibre.
The skylight is an eight pointed star, made of Sunbrella fabric which is a heavy duty fade resistant material (color of your choice) with a super clear UV resistant plastic window in the middle. The "legs" of the star attach to tie down ropes which are anchored both to the yurt and ground. You can easily take it off and on from ground level and there are no mechanical parts or fastenings that could break.
Ash planks ready to come out of the steam box.
The complete fibres of a steam bent wheel provide an almost unbreakable circle which is both lightweight and atheistically pleasing.
Quarter sawn ash which is steam bent onto formers.
Coppice wood fuels this homemade forge.
Heating up one of our branding symbols for labelling wooden components.
Hand branded symbols create a simple guide to assembling our yurts.
This ancient technique of burning the mortices creates a perfect hole that can fit every pole.
The wood is hardened and cured by the heat.
The Kyrgyz decorative grooving provides extra strength whilst reducing the weight of the frame.
Hand carved coppice poles drying for the following years production.
A combination of linseed oil and turpentine is used to coat all wooden components of our yurts.
The froe is a simple and ancient tool used to bring round wood into usable dimensions.
The shaving horse and drawknife make it easy to fashion the support poles in the yurt wheel.
Fashioned whilst green, wheels for a 12, 17 & 20ft yurts are left to dry.
Many knots are tied on the yurt wheel to keep the wheel support poles in place.
The strongest and most sacred part of the yurt: the wheel.
The traditional french seam is used in all of our joins. This envelope arrangement creates strength and optimum weather resistance at the seam.
We provide locally made felt panels which are the traditional felt covering of yurts in Central Asia. Each panel is hemmed with jute edging. Extremely durable and hard wearing they provide a natural, breathable insulation. The felt panels are enclosed by the cotton canvas to protect it from the weather.
Another example of using felt panels for insulation. Felt panels on the walls cut the draft and make a more comfortable yurt in the colder months.

Yurt production sometimes requires yurts to be set up within yurts! Here, the palace yurt houses one 17ft yurt and one 12ft yurt whilst we tailor the coverings.
The process of fitting a 33ft yurt roof cover involves many steps.
Sewing a yurt roof cover involves many meters of french seams!
Setting brass spur grommets into a roof cover.
The skylight is an eight pointed star, made of Sunbrella fabric which is a heavy duty fade resistant material (color of your choice) with a super clear UV resistant plastic window in the middle. The "legs" of the star attach to tie down ropes which are anchored both to the yurt and ground.
Long darts are sewn into our roof hats to make a snug fit over the top of the roof cover.
There are many vibrant and neutral colours to choose for your roof hat.
Windows add extra light in a yurt and when two windows are placed opposite each other, it creates a lovely cross breeze.
Window production in the textile room!
Canvas door attaching to door frame with brass spur grommets.
The bottom of the yurt wall is protected by a heavy duty vinyl skirt.
Tie down ropes connecting to the perimeter rope. Our dacron rope is locally sourced from Schonner Line & Rope in Lunenburg.
Shown here in our business 'label, the sunforger' canvas we use is tested to the Canadian S109 standards.
Our flooring is made out of coconut husk (similar to jute) which is soft and rolls out in sections. It has a vapour barrier underneath which stops moisture and humidity coming up from the ground. If you are using your yurt in a temporary manner, then using this flooring is perfect; easy to clean, hard wearing and natural.
We choose the best materials to create hardwearing, breathable and flexible coverings.

We love our sheep! We have a small flock of Rideau and Canadian Arcotts and our ram is a Romney. They give us so much: fibre for our felt panels, protein, lessons in life and death, grassland management, and companionship!
Lambing is always a special time at Little Foot Yurts!
We have a natural spring in our pasture which gives our sheep water in most months.
Our daughter Yara cuddling with a little lamb.
Our sheep seem to gravitate to the yurts! They have a lot in common.
Onlookers await their turn to be sheared.
Our daughter holds the freshly shorn fleece. We provide locally made felt panels which are the traditional felt covering of yurts in Central Asia.
Our sheep fleece is sent out to Harmony Wollen Mills to be felted. Once returned we hem the panels with jute edging and make felt liners for our yurts.
Extremely durable and hard wearing the felt panles provide a natural, breathable insulation. The felt panels are enclosed by the cotton canvas to protect it from the weather.
Installing a Little Foot Yurt at Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site was a huge success. We had many positive comments from visitors and our Little Foot Yurt spurred a sizable increase in winter camping at Keji last year. Visitors commented on how their overnight stay in the yurt heightened their overall winter experience at Keji. Working with Alex and Selene was a pleasure, as they truly care about their yurts and the local resources that go into their fabrication. Thank-you Little Foot Yurts!

The Nirmukta Freethought Community › BELIEF & NONBELIEF › Religion › Hinduism
Advice for Indologists
TTCUSM
(Cross-posted at the Religious Education Forum)
Timothy Insoll has some very helpful advice for Indologists and historians on page 35 of his book Archaeology and World Religion:
Quote: The textual roots of Hindu religious tradition go back to the four Vedas; the Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda which are conventionally dated to between 1500 to 1000 BCE. More reflective of reality is the belief that these are composite texts containing diverse traditions of diverse periods and cannot represent any specific period in the Indian historic sequence. There is no Vedic Age. Similarly, there is no Vedic Archaeology. The same may be said about the textual corpus associated with the main bodies of the Vedas, such as the Upanishads. What is clear from the point of view of the present chapter is that the first textual phase of Indian philosophical and religious tradition has to remain undated and that archaeology has to be kept out of it.
In such a situation archaeology can do only one thing: try to trace different ritual behaviors which Hindus traditionally associate with Hinduism. It is not a question of beginning with a checklist of rituals and looking for their archaeological manifestations. Rather, it is a question of looking at the early archaeological record as a whole and pointing out the categories of evidence which make sense from the point of view of later, well-documented Hinduism.
(05-Sep-2010, 02:11 AM)TTCUSM Wrote:
There is nothing wrong in assigning a range a periods to history, even when we are not completely sure of the assigned dates. We can at least place upper and lower bounds beyond which an event cannot have taken place. Of course, the implicit assumption is that the dates are true only as long as there is supporting evidence.
Now the advice that Timothy Insoll gives is bad. If he had given a stern warning that there is a bit of uncertainty involved in dating the Vedas and Upanishads, it would have been fine. There is always uncertainty in dating old stuff. Be it the age of the Earth, dawn of the human species, discovery of agriculture etc...
But he goes further and asks us to completely ignore the dating of the Vedic texts. That gives plenty of excuses for hindutva fanatics to make stupid claims like how Vedas and Upanishads are timeless as they are shruti.
The advice is also cowardly. He is basically saying "I can't figure out this stuff, so I give up and so should everybody else".

That is NOT what he is saying.
He is saying that the Vedas and Upanishads may be from such-and-such time period, but they also incorporate older traditions, so assigning a particular date to them might be misleading.
For example, on page 44, he mentions fire-altars at the Harappan site of Kalibangan. The Vedas probably weren't around yet, but fire-altars would play a significant role in the later Vedic religion.

Interestingly enough, Agni is referred to as an "Asura" several times in the Rig Veda:
Book 2, Hymn 1 (Agni):
6 Rudra art thou, the Asura of mighty heaven: thou art the Maruts' host, thou art the Lord of food,
Thou goest with red winds: bliss hast thou in thine home. As Pūṣan thou thyself protectest worshippers.
5 Agni, be this our sacrifice eternal, with brave friends, rich in kine and sheep and horses,
Rich, Asura! in sacred food and children, in full assembly, wealth broad-based and during.
Book 5, Hymn 12 (Agni):
1. To Agni, lofty Asura, meet for worship, Steer of eternal Law, my prayer I offer;
I bring my song directed to the Mighty like pure oil for his mouth at sacrifices.
Book 5, Hymn 15:
1. To him, the far-renowned, the wise Ordainer, ancient and glorious, a song I offer.
Enthroned in oil, the Asura, bliss-giver, is Agni, firm support of noble, riches.
Book 7, Hymn 2:
3 We will extol at sacrifice for ever, as men may do, Agni whom Manu kindled,
Your very skilful Asura, meet for worship, envoy between both worlds, the truthful speaker.
3 When fair bright days shall dawn on us, O Indra, and thou shalt bring thy banner near in battle,
Agni the Asura shall sit as Herald, calling Gods hither for our great good fortune.
Book 10, Hymn 11 (Agni):
6 Urge thou thy Parents, as a lover ' to delight: the Lovely One desires and craves it from his heart.
The priest calls out, the sacrificer shows his skill, the Asura tries his strength, and with the hymn is stirred.
"Don't even try to date the texts". That is an interpretation one could make out of the passage you posted. Hence my observation.
As to your point, if he thinks the currently proposed dates are misleading, fine. He should let evidence speak for itself. If he is not making an evidence based case, he should say that it is his own personal opinion. He shouldn't be advising other indologists based on personal opinions.

I just got back from a 10-day retreat in Kaufman, Texas, where I learned teachings passed down for centuries from the man himself, Gautama Buddha. If learning to meditate like Buddha isn't a great marketing spin for a meditation retreat, I don't know what is! The seminar was a mind-blowing experience with its share of ups and downs. This is my story, and my take on the meditation technique of vipassana.
Though meditation has been around for centuries, it's still only just starting to take off in the Western world. It first gained popularity in the West during the 1960s as culture changed with music and narcotic experimentation. The Beatles learned Transcendental Meditation from the Maharishi in Rishikesh, which changed their musical sound and lyrics meanings to be about spirituality and eastern philosophy.
Around this time other bands and influential people began learning and experimenting with meditation. However, since then meditation has spread deeply throughout Western culture and is now considered as standard as yoga or shisha pipes.
Meditation is now used not only for spiritual connection but mind health, stress relief, developing focus and vision exercises. Not everyone wishes to use meditation for spiritual purposes, though that is the area the techniques were bred from.
These four unique meditation practices are among the most effective and widely practiced to date. Using the information below you should be able to decide which is right for you and your desires.
Our lives are filled with distractions -- email, Twitter, texting we're constantly connected to technology, rarely alone with just our thoughts. Which is probably why there's a growing movement in America to train people to get around the stresses of daily life.

Tyra Banks Admits Exploding Over Drake Date Confession: "You Ain't My Man" [Video]

Nicki Minaj: Rapper says she's 'retiring' to have a family
Meek Mill Isn't in Nicki Minaj's DMs and 13 Other Things We Learned From Hanging Out With Him
Drake Says This Changed His Relationship with Nicki Minaj 'Forever'
Drake wins 13 Billboard Awards, calls Nicki Minaj the 'love of my life'
who has drake dated
Nicki Minaj has announced she is off the market as of December 11th. Nicki and Safaree's long-term relationship started way back in and took a turn in , when the couple called time on their relationship. Their messy break-up turned sour after a stream of interviews where Safaree said he "started feeling disrespected" in the relationship. The pair were even rumoured to have been engaged. After claiming that she and Meek Mill were just close friends, the rapper posted a picture back in April confirming the two were indeed an item. After dating for roughly two years, the pair split in January after a public brawl. Have a blessed New Year. Drake and Nicki have never actually confirmed their relationship but the pair have never shied from expressing their love for each other.
Since appearing on the scene, Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, has been in a number of very public relationships. And these two have a history that really goes back — practically a decade! But they did reunite on Oct. Both artists denied any dating rumors but had a history of being pretty flirty. They even got together in August , with Nicki taking an Instagram video of the collaborators giggling over a joke Drake made.
Nicki Minaj gives advice on dating Drake and says they're hitting the studio to record for The Pink Print.
However, the better question is, who hasn't Drake dated. However, Nicki quickly shot down those rumors in their song, "Only," claiming that she has never been involved with Drake. First, let's go all the way back to when a then year-old Drake real name: Aubrey Graham was linked to actress Tika Sumpter and Jade Lee the following year.
Whew, we are out of breath. The former Degrassi actor has never hidden his love for Rihanna. However, the love was not reciprocated at first, with Drake releasing his track "Fireworks" about his heartbreak. That did not stop the duo from continuing to collaborate musically, releasing the hit "What's My Name" in , "Take Care" in , and "Work" in Unfortunately, it was once again short-lived and by , Drake had moved on with another famous beauty, the one and only Jennifer Lopez. From then, Drake has continued with his playboy ways, reportedly dating Brittany Renner, Bella Harris, and model Imaan Hammam in the past few years.
As of right now, it appears that Drake is single and ready to mingle. His most recent girlfriend was the year-old model Bella Harris , who is the daughter of music producer Jimmy Jam Harris , but things with the young beauty eventually fizzled out. Drake secretly welcomed his first-born Adonis with baby mama Sophie Brussaux in — and seems to be focused on co-parenting with the former adult film star.
We'll break it all down for you below.
Drake — also in denim trousers — teamed his item with an Dating zipped jacket as he requested disneyland drake servings disneyland himself top the fashionista. The date may come as a surprise for some fans tyra video two who on paper video worlds apart. Moved on:. Drake — who has tyra dating to Rihanna and Nicki Minaj — has admitted to sleeping with a string banks women since splitting up with his top love Dollicia Bryan.
10 Dating Rumors Escalated. Nicki Minaj and Drake performing in via: iPower Even before the famous dance Nicki did for Drake in.
While one friend told PEOPLE that Jenner, 22, and Drake, 33, have been hanging out "romantically" since she announced her split from Scott in October, other insiders insist the pair are "just friends. It sounds like the rapper missed his chance to have his "One Dance" with the supermodel! The "In My Feelings" rapper apparently took note, as Klum revealed on her next visit to the show in September that he later got her number through a mutual friend — but she had already met her now-husband, Tom Kaulitz.
Klum later told DeGeneres in January that she did eventually apologize to Drake for ghosting him, but in response, "he just made that face," Klum explained, mimicking a raised-eyebrow emoji. After the rapper released his album, Scorpion , rumors began swirling that Drake and Hadid had a secret relationship, thanks to lyrics on his song "Finesse," which reference flying to New York to see a special someone, as "Fashion weeks is more your thing than mine.
However, after a Twitter user commented that Hadid had "probably" hooked up with the rapper, she shot down the rumors , tweeting, "Not me!!! That's disrespectful. Drake confirmed that Brussaux — a French artist and former adult film star — was the mother of his son , Adonis, on the track "March Romance rumors have swirled around the two for as long as they've been collaborating, which is to say: a long time. How could you not think there was something there after that "Anaconda" lap dance??
In October , Minaj announced she'd married boyfriend Kenneth Petty. Back when they were rumored to be a thing, the singers took to their respective Instagram accounts to post the same cuddly pic — sans caption.
His latest — a two-to-four-year sentence for the minor parole violation of popping a wheelie — sparked an international call for his freedom and prison reform. Here are some more things we learned about Mill while on set, from his beef with Drake, where he stands with Nicki Minaj, and not voting — plus some details about his new album, Championships. He was high when he started that beef with Drake.
Getting high and doing whatever I wanted how I wanted to do it. Mill recently revealed his past opioid addiction.
Nicki Minaj and Drake's relationship has been a source of curiosity for their respective fanbases over the years. There have been the.
Drake impersonates Rihanna live on 'SNL'. Rihanna and Drake spotted leaving nightclub together. That same month, Drake flew all the way over the UK to be with Riri. Drake says he wants to "go half on a baby" with Rihanna. Drake confesses his love for Rihanna. Drake and Rihanna how split up. December Reports emerge that Drake is dating Jennifer Lopez. After breaking up with Jennifer Lopez, Drake sends a indirect message to Rihanna.
Drake is no stranger to a public romance. We've seen him linked to a few famous ladies over the years. His love life has been a major influence on his music, the good and the bad. We've taken a dating back through Drake's song history – and we're pretty sure there'll be a song that surprise you Despite their busy work schedules, Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards and England footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain never fail to delight us with their super cute photos.
The pair how support each other in their careers as well!
If there is one word that describes the relationship between rappers Drake and Nicki Minaj, it is 'complicated'. As they both started their careers under the same label and would be featured in a handful of songs together, the two have an undeniably sweet chemistry that can really fool people. Drake and Nicki have thrown shade at each other, made up, and repeated the entire cycle. Right now, things seem to be chill between the two. So, what is their relationship really like?
Here are some moments between the two throughout the years, which will help you to understand their dynamic a little better.
"That's How You Feel" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake. It was produced by Noel Cadastre. The song samples Nicki Minaj's verse on the remix of the group PTAF's "Boss We're instead left with Drake's flow offering any changes that happen in the song, plus a sample of Nicki Minaj from a live show dating back to
A former customer service representative for airlines at Los Angeles International Airport has opened up about all of the celebrities she has encountered on the job, revealing that some were unbelievably friendly and others were downright rude. The year-old singer took to his Instagram on Wednesday morning to post a lengthy statement to address the controversy and to make amends with the three rappers.
They shocked the pop culture sphere in when they erupted into an unforgettable brawl at a New York Fashion Week party. Petty, 42, is currently awaiting trial after being arrested for failing to register as a sex offender when he moved to California to be with the Trollz rapper. Nicki Minaj bared her baby bump in underwear as she sat in bed for a new Instagram video she posted Thursday. The year-old was mouthing joyfully along to her new single Move Ya Hips.
Iggy Azalea has responded to fans questioning why she never shared photos of herself while pregnant with her newborn son, Onyx. The Anaconda rapper stood in front of the Beverly Hills home she lives in with husband Kenneth 'Zoo' Petty, 42, while he carried a stack of packages inside.

Jim has been involved in Haiti since 2010 and realized his dream when The Joseph School welcomed its first class in October 2015. The goal of the school is to provide education that will help Haiti and its people flourish for years to come, rather than only supplying material aid that helps for a short time. Teach a man to fish.
In June of 2014, seven employees went to Haiti to serve and work at the school. In 2016, we began sponsoring two first-grade students, Batista and Johanna. Our sponsorships have provided them with school supplies, transportation and approximately 630 meals each.
In January of 2017, a group of market researchers visited Haiti as part of a trip organized by the Marketing Research Education Foundation (www.mref.org). To read reflections on that trip as published in Quirks Marketing Research Review, click here.

The service mindset of 20|20 is one of my favorite parts of working here. It is great to be at a company that truly cares about making the community around it a better place.


A million teenagers right now participate in America's largest extracurricular fitness program for high school students. They run and wrestle, do push-ups and sit-ups, and challenge themselves beyond their perceived limits. And then they do it all over again the next day.
The rigorous activity is exactly what the United States of Obesity needs. It's also what an increasing number of voices call to restrict.
Football is the most popular high school sport in terms of participants and spectators. It's also the most controversial.
The media remains transfixed on head injuries. But players' bellies and not their brains ought to worry the public most.


On the site of the Catholic Herald, the UK's best Catholic weekly, (it has a great new look) there is an article you will want to see, with my emphases and comments.
Three years ago, in July 2007, the Holy Father published Summorum Pontificum giving parishioners the canonical right to have their parish priest celebrate the Old Form of Mass (the Extraordinary Form) for them alongside the New or Ordinary Form. In places Summorum Pontificum is resisted, and it is important to recognise and address the causes.
Some say the obstruction comes from bishops, but this is unfair. The problem seems to lie within the Church as a whole, being an aversion to formal, God-directed worship in favour of a liturgy that entertains with cheerful hymns, is undemanding to follow and casual in celebration. This aversion harbours resistance not only to Summorum Pontificum but even to the new translation of the New Form. [I think he is right. But there is active and direct resistance from some priests and bishops.] As the end of the three year period of assessment on how the implementation of Summorum Pontificum has gone approaches, I offer a reflection from one of the several parishes which celebrate in the Old Form every Sunday.
In scheduling the Old Form, objections came mainly from those who experienced the heady days of the Church's surge into change after Vatican Council II and who saw change and informality as the order of the day. It is understandably hard for them to welcome back their heritage when it evokes things considered long gone and appears to undo what was established by priests they have loved. But honesty compels us to acknowledge that we all abandoned things the Council decreed we retain, [exactly] while loyalty demands we recover them by authentic catechesis on both the Council and the Ordinary Form.
For example, the "full, active and conscious participation" of the people (Sacrosanctum concilium #14) is a call of the Council frequently misunderstood, [Let's see where he goes with this!] for the word translated "active" is actuosis; an engagement beyond mere "activity" (actives). Indeed, external activity is but participation in the liturgical rite, and can be present without internal, conscious participation in the Mystery of Faith. [I wonder if the writer has been reading WDTPRS!] Significantly, the Council began its teaching on the liturgy by stating that the Church is "present in the world as a pilgrim [and is] so constituted that in her the human is … subordinated to the divine; … action to contemplation". The Sacred Congregation of Rites confirmed this contemplative element in 1967: "This participation is first and foremost internal" (Musicam sacram #15). [YES! And it goes back before that as well. Good work!] Still, to externalise the internal, participation by word and gesture remains important. Sadly, the loss of focus on internal participation has resulted in [horrors…] the imposing of drama, dancing – even puppet shows – on to the rite. To be recovered here, then, is the core of participation; that lifting up our hearts to the Lord, and actions required by the Missal: striking the breast in the Confiteor; bowing during the Credo etc.
Undoubtedly the lay ministry of Lector (Reader) was built into the New Form so as to facilitate lay activity in the rite itself (Extraordinary ministry is not built-in; it was established for use only in exceptional circumstances), but this seems to have created a sense that unless one has a ministry one does not participate. [Right! In fact, it leads to a worse sort of clericalism than that of which liberals accuse those of a more conservative stripe.] This is clearly wrong since it would mean 95 per cent of Catholics never participate. It is necessary, then, to recover an awareness that active participation consists not in mere activity but in "raising the mind and heart" in "full, active, conscious" attention expressed by heartfelt responses, postures and singing.
Next we must acknowledge the Council's decree that "Latin is to be retained" (Sacrosanctum concilium #36). Latin all but vanished following the Council's permission to use the vernacular for the readings and commonly called "bidding prayers" with authorisation to extend its use, yet the Council limited that extension by decreeing: "Never the less, care must be taken to ensure the people be able to say or sing in Latin those parts of the Mass that pertain to them" (cf Sacrosanctum concilium #54). [How many times have I quoted that, I wonder.] Gregorian Chant, which was to have "pride of place in liturgical services", was also lost, yet its use was reaffirmed by Pope Paul VI in 1974 when every Bishop was sent a copy of On the minimum repertoire of Gregorian Chant. Accordingly, use of Latin – which demands a conscious, active attention the vernacular does not – must be recovered if we are to be genuinely formed by Vatican II.
Acknowledging that things frequently cited as contrary to Vatican II are in fact decreed by the Council (Latin) and directed by the Missal it generated (the altar-facing priest) their more regular use should be promoted in order to make genuine our claim of being faithful to Vatican II and eliminate misinformed resistance to the Old Form and the new translation. [And here we get to it…] How then did our parish facilitate reception of the Extraordinary Form in a pastoral way?
We began by educating the parish in the actual decrees of Vatican II, the rubrics of the New Missal and the reasoning behind them. Once aware of what the Council and Missal actually said, most were well disposed toward implementing the Council and New Missal in a more authentic manner.
Secondly, when celebrating the Old Form, several pastoral supports are utilised.
First, the readings are – as proposed and recommended by Vatican II – proclaimed in the vernacular with use of a free-standing microphone. [In place of the Latin? At the same time as the Latin?] Since God is speaking to the people at this point it makes sense that they be able to understand without difficulty.
We also supply missalettes with the people's responses highlighted so as to enable participation in the rite itself. Missalettes for children are picture booklets showing the varying positions of the priest and servers at specific points, enabling the children – and adults new to this Form – to more easily follow the rite.
There are some who still resist solemnity in celebration; the use of Latin and the altar-facing priest. [Minimalists.] Yet these unintended losses in the New Form are not difficult to recover: if we can lose them overnight after centuries of use we can recover them after only decades of loss. Such recovery is not "going backwards", or doing a U-turn, since the Ordinary Form will continue in use. Rather, it is a halting of the train to retrieve what has fallen from the carriage before our continuance. Many folk seem unable to grasp the distinction.
It is important to say that attendance at our Extraordinary Form accounts for a third of our weekly Mass numbers. Some who said they would never attend do so occasionally, and with decreasing prejudice. Further, the parish is not divided by differing liturgical preferences – friendships and working relationships remaining unaffected. [See my Rules of Engagement.] Finally, as with the Ordinary Form counterparts, those who attend the Extraordinary Form display great devotion to Christ in the Eucharist and personal prayer; a concern for social justice by running coffee mornings to support SPUC, Aid to the Church in Need and Let The Children Live, and engage in collaborative ministry as catechists, extraordinary ministers, Legion of Mary and finance committee members.
I believe we can no longer refuse the Extraordinary Form and for two main reasons. First,  because the Church declared it to be sacred, and while the Church has all authority to forbid what is evil she has no authority to forbid what is sacred; her authority is "to build up rather than destroy" (1 Cor 13:10). Second,  this Form is the rightful heritage of future generations; one to which we have no moral right to deny them access. Use of the Extraordinary Form is then a matter of recognising and promoting the holy, and an act of justice towards future generations.
WDTPRS kudos to Fr. Dickson.

There is no reason whatsoever to give Communion in the hand. None.
I also have a problem with giving Communion in the hand at a TLM. And, in fact, I do not. I explain to those attending what the "custom" at the TLM is; if there is a problem, they can deal with me or the Bishop, I guess. But this "overlay" of universal law and the particular customs just is very confusing to most people. So I just tell them. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I also understand that the readings, as a liturgical act, are to be read or chanted in Latin; they then may be read in the vernacular before the homily (sermon)…not to be "overly rigid"here, but it was my understanding previously that at a TLM the readings may be done in the vernacular exclusively, not read in Latin; there was some kind of ruling on this by "Eclessia Dei" (can't remember if they are a comission or a council?).
And, not to be OCD about this (I don't mean discalced Carmelite!)…I believe there are norms about what kind of music can be sung at a Low Mass and what is allowed at a Missa Cantata, High Mass, Solemn High Mass (the latter three allowing only Latin during the Mass proper…I believe…Sancta Missa webpage has all the legislation).
God bless Fr. Dickson! May his tribe prosper! I'm not trying to be a "twit" here; but some kind of understanding about things in these matters is always helpful.
A well-balanced and well written commentary which should be sent to all English speaking churches. It is the entire Church, and not just some bishops who object to the EF. In my neck of the woods, one convent of nuns and one monastery of monks absolutely refuse to have the EF. And, in two other convents with which I am familiar, the case is the same. Out and out resistance and dislike of the EF.
I wish all Catholics would be more open to the beauty of the TLM. Thank you, Fathers, for sharing this.
Fascinating to see the development of the traditional Latin Mass in a parish setting. I've been wondering how the EF and OF forms of the Roman rite were going to influence each other, and waiting to see if it were possible for there to be some kind of continuity or bridge between the two forms.
That's what I think Fr. Dickson is trying to do, if I'm not mistaken. My experience has been that it's very difficult for most Catholics to adapt to Latin liturgies where vocal participation is discouraged, as it is in some Latim Mass communities. At some Latin Masses where Gregorian chant and polyphony are sung exclusively by a schola, this can be very beautiful and ethereal, but it is alien to the typical Novus Ordo Catholic and very hard for those accustomed to forty years of "elevator music" to assimilate.
One last thing—I'm not sure if it's allowed to have vernacular readings in place of the Latin—I'd have to check up on that, but I believe vernacular hymns are allowed at a Missa Cantata with the permission of the local bishop.
Communion in the hand at a Latin Mass is not my cup of tea, but all in all, it's encouraging to see attempts being made to make the Latin Mass more accessible and familiar to mainstream Catholics.
And the booklet sent out along with that request is available to this day from "paxbook.com" along with a CD recording of all the items contained in the booklet.
Well, there's good and bad in this piece. I hail this Priest's willingness to hail the banner of Summorum Pontificum–a great start! He certainly has wise words to say about "active participation" as well; remember, even Pope St. Pius X advocated for this over 100 years ago, and more recently Bl. Pius XII did as well. His advice on vernacular hymns is on-spot; even FSSPX contains many vernacular hymns in their official hymnal.
But, frankly, I think he is a little confused on Sacrosanctum concilium. That Conciliar document didn't call for the retention of the Traditional Latin Mass–as he seems to imply by his correct assertion that it called for a retention of Latin–but rather allowed for it to be whittled away at will. Thankfully, the TLM was preserved, intact, by the likes of FSSPX, instead of the bastardized liturgy the Council seemed to envision.
I agree that in the Church (laity and clergy) there is a strong opposition to formal worship. Casual and comfortable fit the wishes of the faithful who show up in short shorts, sweats, strappy tops, flip flops…The idea of worshiping God deeply either offends or makes some uncomfortable. It is really foreign to most in the pew. It's almost as if those lessons that we not worship money, things or people has been applied to God Himself. Nay, we have been admonished not to worship people and things, so that we may worship God fully.
I can't imagine any one at my parish worrying as some of Fr Z's readers have, about how to clean precious blood spilled on a child's shirt or not to chew gum soon after Mass. But, for the first time this week, I saw another parishioner (guest?) receive on the tongue. She even genuflected first, as I learned to do at my old parish. Our bishop is conveying these same lessons about the liturgy, the mysteries, reverence, etc., to the faithful.
I appreciate the work that Fr. Dickson has done to implement Summorum Pontificum in his parish. However, some of the items he discusses concerning the TLM hint at a certain melding of the two forms, which I completely reject. I think we must be vigilant in opposing those who would attempt to create a "third form" that combines aspects of the ordinary and extraordinary.
AN excellent read and encouraging sign of balance returning to a parish. But small things like a formal clarification of GIRM 299 would go a long way in correcting misinterpretations of it, at the same time squashing the position of liberals who wish to continually misrepresent what it means. This is a famous example, one that Rome I am sure is familiar with. Why doesn't the Pope clarify these things? An encylical covering all these types of misinterpretations or outright changing of the meanings would go a long way in settling alot and would be a great gift to the Church. I just don't get why so much is left to continued "misinterpretation".
Supertradmom: I am so very sorry to hear your report that religious houses of men and women religious, especially monastics, are opposed to the EF.
How absolutely horrid! This is the very "source" of our Tradition, esp. as monastic men and women.
Prayers from here…we have a lot of work to do, I'm afraid.
Is it really sufficient for people to check their hands for fragments of the Holy Sacrament?
What about all the people who have bad eyesight? doddery hands? etc?
Mitchell NY: from your mouth to God's ears!:<)!
We have learned, over time, there are certain territorial "customs"; for instance, we encourage the faithful, but don't demand it, to pray the responses during a Low Mass (Prayers at the Foot of the Altar; the Kyrie; the other responses to the priest…) Some would hate it; but I believe this is in response to the authentic development within the Sacred Liturgy whereby the faithful "could" verbally take part; they don't have to; they can.
However, there are places that do not do this; that is a particular custom. No problem.
At our 'Missa Cantata' we make it available for the faithful to respond in the chants; they don't have to…they can.
"Actual participation" is something we try to assist by our homilies, the chant, the beauty we try to make present in the Holy Mass…it's a process (if you will; I'm not a "process theologian", however!).
Like you, I also do not give Communion in the hand at the EF Mass. I also found the part about vernacular readings at the same time as the Latin proclamation by the priest to be disconcerting.
At the same time, if this priest has found a way to make this work at a parish level, I do indeed take my hat off to him. There is nothing harder than bringing the EF Mass to the typical Novus Ordo parish, and I welcome the ideas of all brother priests.
A now deceased [Traditionalist] priest friend of mine would occasionally replace Latin for the Vernacular at Epistle & Gospel from the altar. I found such to be the case with SSPX in Essen.
I had the pleasure, over three days at Christmas, of attending NOM High Mass with extensive Latin usage, at The Holy Name, Manchester. This is a vibrant church, utilising both Rites. Weekday Masses at a side altar, with priest facing the altar. Not to mention extensive opportunity (daily) for Confession.
Generally, on my travels, I come across clergy who are vitriolically opposed to the TLM and laity who are more interested in their own staus within the parish structure – which the TLM would essentially deny them.
This was part of the Dialogue Mass. It was one of Bugninis little ways to undermine the minor order of Acolyte. While Fr., in this article, makes the point that participation needs to be internal to be effectual, saying responses meant for a minor order cleric would seem to me to marginalize the minor order to the point that it becomes a "lay ministry". And this is exactly what happened!
Reading the Epistle and Gospel in the Vernacular would come BEFORE the homily, but rather would be part OF it. The official prayers of the church, including the Epistle and Gospel should REMAIN in Latin. Otherwise these most important teachings are no longer a prayer to God, but rather a learning moment instead of prayer. When it is read only in the vernacular it becomes fluid and changing. The number of people who SHOULD learn latin (all of us) goes down. Just listening to Latin in the Epistle and Gospel has taught me many latin words.
The OF will remain a made up liturgy cobbeled together out of mans pride to think his will in designing a liturgy is better than the revelation of the Holy Spirit over the millenia.
This what many young priests are learning. True participation is NOT external (readings in vernacular, saying responses of a cleric, singing hymns in the vernacular, etc.) it is internal in the heart. Singing to God in a universal language (Latin for Romans, Greek for orthodox, etc.) does not require the singer to UNDERSTAND every word he is saying, rather it requires him to sing those words with Love for the greater glory of God.
Many liberals like option 1 better. It makes the faithful dependant on them to eat without knowing how and why and where to fish. Christ said to be fishers of men (Teach them), to gather them in. He didn't say throw them a fish and hope they like what the ate and come back for more. (Preach at them and hope they like it).
Sorry to be crass, but I am really tired with so many people STILL wanting to tinker with the TLM. Why not TEACH the people? It is not hard. The young minds are sponges. Provide them knowledge of Latin, their patrimony and Catholic teaching and hopefully they will fish for eternity!
When you say 'true participation is not external.' I believe you misrepresent the teaching of both the pre-conciliar Popes, Vatican II, and Pope Benedict XVI.
In reality, true participation is first and foremost ad intra. In that you are completely correct. That being said, when Sacrosanctum Concilium said that the people were to 'say or sing in Latin those parts of the Mass that pertain to them,' it was only reiterating what had been taught in the 20th century by Popes Pius X, XI and XII.
What they taught was that a more complete participation in the Mass by the faithful is when they not only internalizing the prayers, but also respond to them. In that way, the faithful will not be the 'mute' or 'silent' 'spectators' lamented by Pope Pius XI and XII.
This really shouldn't be a controversial point, Moon, for even our friends in the SSPX know and accept this and implement it, as anyone who has had the joy of being to Mass at their magnificent church in Paris, St. Nicholas du Chardonnet, knows.
The third and by far the most compelling reason for "not refusing" the traditional Mass (what an odd way to put it) is this: the new mass was created by a Freemason. That should be all any Catholic needs to come to his senses….or his sensus.
Maltese: . . . Sacrosanctum concilium. That Conciliar document didn't call for the retention of the Traditional Latin Mass—as he seems to imply by his correct assertion that it called for a retention of Latin . . .
Of course, (1) whether SC called for the retention of the traditional Mass, and (2) whether it called for the retention of Latin in the Mass, are two entirely different questions.
On (2): While the Council allowed for limited use of the vernacular in the traditional Mass (of Pius V), "everybody" (here, at least) knows that SC called the retention of Latin. In particular, the Council Fathers never envisioned the Canon in the vernacular.
On (1): It can be argued that SC did call for the retention of the old Mass, in that no new Mass was then envisioned. Not only was it the only Mass the bishops at the Council knew, the construction of some "new order" of Mass was never mentioned – either in the Council itself or in the formal deliberations of the Council commission that wrote SC. (I have read the minutes of all the 50+ meetings in which the commission worked methodically through 662 "interventions" submitted by Council Fathers, totaling 1200 printed pages of suggested amendments to the original draft schema).
What happened is that, after the close of the Council, an entirely new commission – the infamous Bugnini consiliium – was appointed to implement SC. It is arguable that, instead of implementing SC, it ditched SC, and substituted a new agenda leading to the Novus Ordo.
If SC had been implemented faithfully instead of being sidetracked, it seems to me that the "old Mass" would have been preserved (with some limited renewal) and there would never have been anything called the "new Mass".
As much as there is to praise about the good priest's move toward tying his parish back to the Church's tradition, his version of the traditional Mass seems heavily influenced by his formation in the N.O.: let's look at the set of options allowed in the years leading up to the council — and even some that weren't, like communion in the hand — and give them a go. In the end he has a hodge-podge Mass that would certainly not be pleasing to those accustomed to assisting at the TLM done well. I for one, would continue driving long distances on Sundays to a Mass that was offered correctly. Say the black, do the red — no need to get creative.
I think this is maybe one negative side effect of Summorum Pontificum. When every priest can offer the TLM, many who have grown accustomed to "doing liturgy" as they please just can't resist imposing their personality on the old Missal.
I commend your efforts, Father, but perhaps you should reconsider the use of all of these exceptional allowances.
Hieronymus: When every priest can offer the TLM, many who have grown accustomed to "doing liturgy" as they please just can't resist imposing their personality on the old Missal.
It was ever so, to a degree.
"The problem seems to lie within the Church as a whole, being an aversion to formal, God-directed worship in favour of a liturgy that entertains with cheerful hymns, is undemanding to follow and casual in celebration. This aversion harbours resistance not only to Summorum Pontificum but even to the new translation of the New Form." Like Fr. Z I think Fr. Dickson is right. The road to a true renewal of the Church and Her Liturgy is not going to be easy. The priests who were ordained and those religious who were professed just before the Council are now reading the end end of their lives. Everyone else has been educated in a post-Conciliar Church. There is, at the least, huge inertia to be overcome. Forty years of liturgical abuse and neglect, hostile propaganda and ignorance will not be overcome easily or without strife and suffering. The pernicious influence of Rahner, Kung and Schillebeeckx et al will not pass swiftly but antidotes must be applied. At our recent Provincial Chapter I almost succombed to despair at some of our celebrations of the Mass etc. Let's face it that if one wishes to be faithful to the whole of Church teaching, Tradition and practice one must be prepared to travel as a solitary pilgrim and hope the Lord will provide companions. I thank the Lord that like St. Francis He has given me brothers.
This insertion of arguable opinion — rather than doctrine or disciplinary instruction, in a document that appeared a month before Pius XII's death — might remind someone of other questionable things that happened during his lengthy final illness.
In any event, I believe the assertion to be incorrect, and (with Pius X) that the people should sing the Mass, rather than sing at Mass. It seems to me that the analogue for a low Mass is for the people to recite (if anything) the ordinary of the Mass, rather than singalong hymns that distract from the prayers of the Mass. How can the people pray the Mass in union with the priest, as Pius X so strongly recommended, if instead they're singing hymns while the priest is praying the Mass?
Henry: You put your finger directly on a sore spot in present day liturgical practice.
It is not only a sore spot. For priests, to mix metaphors, it is the third rail as well.
Henry brings up a good point about singing the Mass versus singing at Mass. While I fully understand what "full, conscious, and active participation" really means, I do believe that the people should, whenever possible, be able to sing the chants and parts of the Mass. At the same time, I think it important and wise that the celebrant sings the Mass as well. Not only is it more solemn, it also cuts down on the temptation of the celebrant to engage in prosaic ad libbing that has arisen in the Novus Ordo which has made the celebrant's singing the Mass an option he often doesn't take.
Priests may have had some customary usage at the local parish level in the days of yore, but 1) that doesn't mean that was necessarily good, and 2) for the most part priests also had a thoroughly Catholic formation and sensibility. The past 40 years (and somewhat beyond) have been a time where a revolutionary Marxist ideology dominates the academic setting — Catholic seminaries sadly included. The revolution has severed us from our glorious past, and to a great extent dulled our Catholic sensibility. This sensibility, as you well know, was formed by, and nurtured on, a thoroughly Catholic liturgy. In order to restore the sensibility, we should return to that Liturgy which formed the sensibilities our fathers. But we should leave it alone for a while — steeping ourselves in its stability and changing ourselves to conform to its spirit. Picking it up and cutting, pasting, and hemming to tailor it to modern sensibilities is counter-productive. That's what gave us the new Missal. We find ourselves in a period of history where we are especially in need of being formed BY THE MASS, not the other way around.
The abuses can be so numerous, they're literally numbing!
Singing AT Mass interfers with children learning the Mass.
Considering that singing the Mass is a lot older than saying the Mass, I think that CeeLee is mistaken.
This letter should be posted on the Archdiocese of Philadelphia website in big bold fonts!.
The pedagogical approach used to introduce the congregation to a more active involvement in the liturgy by "lifting up their hearts" is sound, perhaps the best I have ever read. Would the the new sacramentary be introduced this fall to Catholic congregations in this thoughtful and caring way!
The liturgy described by Fr. Dickson reminds me of an Anglican Mass I once attended, sans the Latin.
Viz. http://www.roamincatholicphiladelphia.blogspot.com; St. Paul's, on Christian (9th-10th) seems to be close to highways and Broad Street Line (Ellsworth-Federal). St. Peter's in Merchantville, NJ (43 W. Maple, appx 10 minutes drive from Ben Frankin Bridge) may be closer to you than either ME in Berlin, NJ or even Philadelphia spots.
If we are all singing at Mass, then we can do away with the choir, no thank you. I will pray the (old)'immemorial Mass' (extraordinary) also I know of no priest ever refused anyone who could not kneel at the communiom rail, remember I am kinda old and there were many who had only one leg, no legs, and wheel chairs, crutches, etc. That is a silly argument, where in the last 45 years has common sense and right reason gone? Since when should 'bad laws' be obeyed, better to fight to make them 'right laws. As for Vatican II documents, there is so much ambiguous language that the progressive's will say they have a ligitamate argument for all they do and want. As for the 'fabricated' ordinary form, it is just that 'fabricated' so get rid of it, to rebuild is one thing, to reinvent is quite another.

To the surprise of nobody, Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer seems determined to press ahead with a trial on the unprecedented, most likely unconstitutional impeachment of former President Trump.
He's insisting that you can impeach someone who's no longer in office, even though impeachment exists as an action to remove someone from office. It's possible that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts might refuse even to preside over it, if he cares about the Constitution (sadly, that's an open question.) Here are some more details on the confusing issues that are only now being debated because in all of American history, this is the first time Congress has ever pulled anything this stupid, at least in the impeachment field.
Sen. Mitch McConnell is pressing to delay any trial to February, to give Trump's people a fair chance to mount a defense, something they didn't get to do during the rushed House vote, which is another reason why this is totally bogus (another is that he was impeached for allegedly inciting the Capitol riot with a speech that a federal investigation has already proven took place after the rioters had already started planning their assault.) Schumer will likely oppose that, since trying to impeach a President who's been gone for five weeks might look five times dumber than trying to impeach one who's been gone for one week.
Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas tried (probably futilely) to inject some common sense into the Senate proceedings by pointing out, "We won't be doing any confirmations, we won't be doing any COVID-19 relief, we won't be doing anything else other than impeaching a person who's not even President." Unfortunately, we live in a time when trying to inject common sense into the Senate is like trying to give a vaccination shot to a Pet Rock.
Multiple union leaders are joining Canadian officials in expressing their anger over President Biden's executive order killing the Keystone Pipeline project (along with thousands of union jobs) and reneging on an expensive agreement with Canada, just to appease some radical green activists and "undo Trump's legacy."
Never having run a business (or done anything other than warm a government seat for 47 years), Biden doesn't understand that when a new boss comes in, he doesn't arbitrarily cancel every project his predecessor set in motion, especially not those that represent a major investment and a number of binding outside contracts.
Unfortunately, he's also surrounded himself with other people whose experience is entirely in politics, which explains the clueless response to the anger by his Transportation Secretary pick, Pete Buttigieg (whose experience includes being mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and nothing involving transportation or oil.) In a stunning "learn to code" moment, Buttigieg brushed off concerns about all the lost union jobs, assuring the newly unemployed pipeline workers that with Biden's coming climate initiatives, they can just find "different" jobs.
This Administration is only four days old, and I'm already seeing a lot of people who need to find different jobs.
Speaking of the mindless reversal of all Trump policies, even those nobody wants reversed: Biden put a delay of up to 60 days on an HHS directive that was to have taken effect Friday, requiring community health centers to charge low-income patients the acquisition price for insulin and EpiPens. Question for Biden voters: did you support him because you wanted higher medical bills?
This is part of a general freeze/review on all Trump policies, apparently to insure they aren't evil or something. Although why anyone would think a measure to help provide low-cost insulin to poor diabetes patients should be put on hold is beyond me. That's taking mindless partisanship to the level of psychotic partisanship.
This article explains why President Biden's reversal of Trump's so-called "Muslim ban" is empty leftist virtue-signaling that will make America, like Europe, more vulnerable to deadly terrorist attacks. That's because (as we've been explaining here for four years) it was never a "Muslim ban" at all; it was a ban on travel from a handful of nations, some of them majority Muslim, that harbor terrorist activity.

"More Biden Problems With Reality". There are 53 Muslim countries in the world. The ones who have been banned from travel to the USA, do not have normal diplomatic relations withe USA. They do not have a data base of those who should and should not be allowed to the USA. In most cases Home Land Security doesn't have access via internet to any data base from the banned countries that would be of any help. In all those countries American citizens would not be welcome and most likely would be in extreme danger. And they all have individuals and organized groups that would be not only a high risk to the safety and well being of America, but are dedicated to the destruction of America. ( I speak Arabic and have many friends who are Muslims ).

Governor Huckabee:
Everyone should know this:
Impeachment and the permanent, essential character of impeachment were born by the American Constitution. Throw out and disregard the Constitution and a permanent, essential character of impeachment, removal of the office holder of president, and you do not, and can not have impeachment. Congress persons, lawyers, justices, or judges who throw out and disregard the Constitution and a permanent, essential character of impeachment, removal of the office holder of president, clearly are intellectually inferior; and in leadership positions pose a danger to country and people.
Mary C. Blood
Gov. Huckabee,
I look forward every day to your Daily Verse. Every time I click on the email, I anticipate a nice little pick-me-up. However, could you PLEASE use only the King James Version? KJV is what I learned at my mother's knee, so that is what I read. It rings more authentic than other versions. Thank you!
Jeanne Petropoulos
Is this man thinking??? Unless he has spent four years planning his strategy it would seem prudent to spend some time learning about these programs before making rash decisions about what he wants to do with them. He should build on the framework that is working. In the end, he just looks like an idiot or doddering old fool! Dems must love that since he can be manipulated very easily.
Sue Clarke
Mike, are Democrats really this stupid? It amazes me, and millions of others, that these people who are supposed to be educated don't know jack. I think they are just trying to incite violence. If civil war is what they want they are certainly headed in the right direction and there are plenty of patriots ready to fight for their country. Keep up the good work! God bless you and your family.

I wonder, does the chief executive wear a diaper? An inquiring mind wants to know.

About the "Delay" section of the newsletter... as a nurse I was completely dumbfounded as to why a president would stop/pause an action to allow people needing life saving medications to get them cheaper. I did a little Googling and found this article. Apparently Biden got a lot of money from Eli Lilly in his campaign. They are the largest producer of insulin in the US. Makes more sense now but it makes my stomach turn. https://www.swfinstitute.org/news/83900/pharma-biden-freezes-trumps-lower-cost-insulin-and-epinephrine-rule
I think about all of the students who won't be going to college because mom and dad aren't saving money for college. Student loans? Ya, right. No thanks. Been there, done that.
Edmund Wilson
As always Governor I enjoy your reporting and especially your commentary.
If "OBiden" continues his mindless "neglectative" orders America will need more people like you Governor to stand up and say NO!!
God bless you and yours.
God bless America!!

We're truly at the mercy of God as a nation right now. I have never felt so disenfranchised as an American as I do under Biden. He doesn't know what he's doing.

None of this surprises me. The nation is now a Marxist colony of Red China.
The attack on sick and elderly has only just begun
Biden and his groupies are starting to dismantle any good Trump did.
The best I heard is the Trump should just ignore the impeachment circus.
The MAGA voters are going to either primary the RINOs or start a new party
I hope it doesn't turn into a second civil war but my hopes are low.
If the left does more dismantling of America there are 75 million who will say enough is enough.

There is a video going around on Facebook that shows Biden signing 'fake Executive Orders' with Harris to his right and Fauci to his left (really them) and the 'booklets' are BLANK!
Have you seen this? What on earth!
Judy Radley
When I read your newsletter about Rep. Greene, I think was her name, introducing Impeachment against Biden, wouldn't that just play into the hands of Pelosi to get rid of him so VP Harris can take over? Haven't heard much about that, but of course the media will never cover that story, so wouldn't it be natural for Pelosi et al, to do it behind closed and hidden doors so as not to have the media uncover there newest coup to get rid of their top puppet, Biden, no matter how many times he does their bidding, they will still get rid of him because he is an old rich, white Male, and they see him as threatening as the other old white rich Male, President Trump, in their eyes, because he is a He and not a She, and is not an image they want their unhinged party to look like, ex. old, rich, white man, who is wishy-washy and not enough of a powerful looking minority person, especially not a female looking puppet. However, I often wonder if Pelosi's plan is not what she makes her evil minions think it is, but instead, to impeach Biden, and Harris too, just so she can rule over everything. That to me makes more sense regarding how power hungry, just for the power to rule everyone, and has nothing to do with America, just all about her, to be the top female to rule over everyone else, like a queen bee is.
But also I wonder if they, the truly unhinged dems., haven't put into the equation Biden's wife, now the First Lady, and how she will do everything in her power to mess with Pelosi's plans to undo her husband Joe's position... I think Jill Biden is a worse enemy to have than Pelosi now. She seems determine to elevate herself above all else, even her own husband, like Eleanor Roosevelt, and more recently, Hillary Clinton. I think Jill Biden will be the new 'commander in chieftess' over all else, and I bet she is looking toward 2024 with baited breath, like Hillary was in previous years. I mean when she gets upset already, when people don't refer to her as Dr. Biden, that has to tell you something, if nothing else, she will never go down quietly. One more thing, I'm not sure, but it's my own theory, maybe my own hopefulness that the Dems. will be so engrossed in their own internal struggles now, that nothing they said they will do, other than lip service, will happen, because they will all be living within a hostile work environment, as when Biden said that in part of his inaug. speech, why would he even bring it up unless it was already happening ? So if this is the reality of what is happening, we the Conservative Trump supporters, need to work quickly and diligently to cement a totally successful plan, that will not allow the dems. to usurp it, to replace the House and Senate with Conservative Representatives and Senators in 2022, and rid the govt. of those in power right now. Now that the cheaters have won, we need to plan on exposing the cheats and replacing them with legitimate elections in 2022. That can also be a predictor for 2024. (Unless, scary to say it, the socialists in control change everything so that there will never be any elections for anything any longer?) We need to put in place checks and balances, like PHOTO ID PROOF and handwritten, NON-TECHNOLOGICAL, ballots on paper, and no felons, or illegals, or underage, or dead, people to be allowed to vote in any and all future elections, if we can still have them.
If we fail in 2022, we will also fail in 2024 and all the future years where Dems, Socialists, Communists, Dictatorships, will control everything, and we will never again have voices in our govt. and the Republic Government will be extinct. So let the Dems. continue their infighting for who will be more powerful within their own camps, as that always happens with those who are all ginned up on power-hungry antics, they all want to be THE queen bee and THE king of the hill, because the only thing that matters to them is powerful control and how to get it at any and all costs, just to be the most powerful villain.
Meanwhile, what really matters is what we, Conservatives, can do to bring back the control to the people and not the govt. Get rid of the RINO's, as they are Republicans in Name Only, and are not the Conservative Republicans. Two years is not much time, so we have to work hard to come together as Conservatives to undo the craziness that has been wrongfully cast upon us and to make it right again, to bring back and not let go what President Trump has started for us to continue with. While the Dems. have their own, albeit short lived sense of false security, We The People will come along and take them by surprise to the fact that no way will they continue to try and put us through their cheating any more in the future. Yes, a sort of renewal for our Constitutional rights, but a quiet one and one that they won't see coming, because they are all caught up in their own 'virtual reality' and infighting to see who has the 'one-up' on the others. We will be the steady as you go party, and will appear more non-threatening because we are non-threatening because we have truth on our side, and goodness for all those who live for virtue and truth. Not corruption and lies. If a liberal chides me because they 'won' (they cheated) over Trump, I will just smile and agree with them, and that alone will stop them in their tracks because they will be expecting a confrontation from me, as a Trump Supporter, but I will NOT give them the satisfaction to start a fight with them. I will just smile, nod my head, and keep my mouth closed. Knowing in my mind what I really think, that they are foolish idiots to believe in falsehoods, they can not and will not ever alter my thoughts and truths. As I am in control of my own thoughts and feelings, they cannot provoke me into making me go into the gutter with them. It isn't worth it. My strength is a quiet strength that they will never be able to take away from me. I also have many friends and family who also feel the same way I do, but we aren't the kind to bring attention to ourselves, we talk in private of how unbelievable people are in not seeing the true goodness that President Trump has done for this country. He did it for We The People, and not for his own accolades, although he did have to remind those who couldn't see the obvious that happened, because the media was so propaganda-ish against him, he had to speak up for himself and those who support him. Who wouldn't defend themselves when lies were said about them? I would defend myself as so would anyone else who gets slandered by lies....

Thank you Governor Huckabee for your insight.
I look forward to reading your news letters.
Well Sir, if it's your plan to, " cancel ", someone out; you have to cancel what they did out first.
You know, you can say this is our great Democratic plan. Don't be confused, it may look, feel, and smell like what's his names plan; but it's a much better plan, ah, because it's a democratic plan!
Firewagon
It has now been shown that God is no longer in control of America. How so, you might ask, as was the opening question in many of the late great Dr. Walter Williams' commentaries? The last I checked and have been told for as long as I have been on this planet, God has nothing to do with authoring 'chaos!' If America is not chaotic, and becoming more so by the day, as they say, "There Ain't A Cow In Texas!"
I now have a comparison to that 'doomsday clock,' you know, the one that runs moveable hands from a few minutes to midnight to a few seconds depending on nuclear conditions around the globe. After hearing our geriatric 'new' "Leader of The (not so) FREE World" repeat out loud the instructions he heard from some hearing device rather than 'act,' I envision a 100 years clock. That is China's long term timetable for becoming the 'new' World Power, 100 years, or was! With the Biden inauguration, that 100 years culminates about the year 2035 or even earlier!!
What was it that Biden enunciated vice acting on to reset that timetable? While approaching the Marines guarding the entrance, his earpiece instructed him to "Salute The Marines," and he merely restated those instructions, "Salute The Marines" without saluting!! Making the point that the president or president-elect has no requirement to salute at any time is NOT the issue here. Not to demean or make slight of anybody's mental condition, because it is far too scary and sad to be comical or made into some political exercise!
China already floats a larger Navy than America and has more people 'underarms.' Will Biden continue to press American manufacturing to return here? What about just the "pill" makers, since China can 'kill off' at least half of America by not sending the needed meds required to prevent Americans from dying? 'Russia, Russia, Russia?' Somebody better start thinking, 'China, China, China!' I further doubt America will become much better prepared 'after' our vaunted (not) leaders invoke that 25th Amendment.

"Biden's Border Crisis, Part One"
The House Judiciary Committee is set to hold its first hearing today on the record-breaking illegal immigration crisis at our Southern border. The hearing is called "Biden's Border Crisis, Part One," so apparently they didn't get the message from the White House that this is all the Republicans' fault for preventing Biden from fixing it.

When you hear the name Baahubali, what's the first thing that comes to your mind? Well, of course, it was the most inquisitive question of the year about why Katappa killed Baahubali ('Katappa ne Baahubali ko kyu maara'). Now tagged as the most expensive Indian film, grossing 2.5 Billion till date, the movie could have crashed badly at the box office if the marketers would have not publicized is using apt tactics; and by that, I clearly mean Digital marketing.
From posting behind the scenes to live interactive sessions with the fans, the super-active marketing team worked their fingers to the bone so as to bridge the gap and build up a connection with the audience. And if that was not enough, the team created a separate website for the fans to get updated about every bit. So, all in all, it was social media accounts; with 4.21M likes on Facebook, 4.37 lakh followers on twitter and 7.78 lakhs subscribers on YouTube, that build up a strong online presence thereby helping to develop a craze among the movie buffs.
But bygones are bygones. What's making news at present is will Padmavati break the records set by Baahubali? And will it use the same strategies to create a hype in the atmosphere?
The trailer launched a few days back give a glimpse of the high-budget movie, with a fantastic star cast and breath-taking backgrounds, exemplifying grandeur in every sense; much alike the Tamil blockbuster-Baahubali.
As for Padmavati, it seems as the team has quite understood the formula to take control over audience's mind, but it would be interesting to watch if they get successful in touching the benchmark set by Baahubali.
