MONTPELIER, Vt. —
The House has approved a bill that would allow Vermonters to legally possess up to one ounce of marijuana and grow two mature plants at home.
The 81-63 vote came just before 6:30 p.m. Thursday.
The bill now heads to the State Senate, which will vote on one amendment and is then expected to give its final approval next Wednesday.
"Once legislators have voted for individual possession and individual cultivation, I think at that point there is an admission that it exists broadly in the state already," Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman said.
Representatives spent much of the day debating a range of concerns over the bill.
"Clear as you go. Take care of the problems as you do it. I understand the
rationale for taking the action in this bill, but it's leaving things undone. It's the Scarlett O'Hara approach to legislation, we'll figure that out tomorrow," Arlington Rep. Cynthia Browning said.
Advocates for and against the bill watched the debate.
A mother from Colorado was on hand to tell a story about her teenage son who suffered serious mental health problems after abusing a potent form of THC.
Aubree Adams believes the passage of the bill would increase the risk of people breaking the law and substance abuse issues.
"You really think people are going to follow the rules? The average person doesn't follow all the rules to the T. Come on, this is a cash dealing business. When you allow marijuana grow and use in a home, you've created a stay-at-home business for every mom and dad," Adams said.
If the bill, H. 511, is approved by the Senate it will head to Gov. Phil Scott's desk.
He was expected to sign it into law. The law would take effect July 1.
Vermont is the first state to legalize recreational marijuana use via the legislature.
A state task force will issue a final report to Scott by Dec. 15 on how to tax and regulate marijuana sales and commercial cultivation.
A survey found the majority of Vermonters support legalization.
The House approved the bill despite an announcement from U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who said his agency would target individuals who do not comply with federal marijuana laws.
The Vermont Association of Chiefs of Police released a statement opposing the House's decision.
The group said it has concerns about impaired driving and a lack of means to test drivers who might be under the influence of marijuana.

The Incredible Work in Progress
January 20, 2019 by Mike Vitale in New Music, Life
So, I am planning on producing a song for you, right before your ears—slight of hand—if you're into that.
The song is called "The Incredible Shrinking Brain." This one in particular has been very fun to make, because I have been writing everything at the same time: the chords, lyrics, drums, guitars, bass, synth, etc. As of tonight, I was just trying to add more production to it, because there were holes in the tune, and I had panned the instrument arrangement and panning in the previous mix, in order to make room for another electric guitar track—however, I decided to abandon that idea altogether in favor of more synthesizers.
Here is a link to listen to the latest iteration of the tune. I added synths to the second and third chorus, cleaned up the tambourine with a gate, rewrote the bass line to fit the kick pattern in the bridge, and adjusted the panning, as I mentioned previously, in order to improve the stereo field. I also did some more fine tuning on EQ.
Trust me, it needs more work. I had a few hours to toss at it today while consulting the advice of a few beers.
Please keep in mind that this is a private link, so this is the only way to get to this song, aside from some links I've posted on social med
It would be lovely to hear what you think.
Happy Sunday and please, have a wonderful Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. God bless that man for what he did. This song is in honor of his spirit, and towards the many others who have reshaped human thinking towards a more compassionate and empathic state of being, as it pertains to humans and animals alike.

Oh, why hello there. Good to have you here.
So, in tandem with my last post, I'm balancing my time a lot more efficiently.
I began using a spreadsheet yesterday to help keep track of how long I work on things. It's allowing me to do a whole bunch of different tasks all in one day—and, Presto:
Here is a mix I was working on this morning in my three hour window. It's for a song I wrote called Moon.
The first lines of the song came from a story that my friend told me.
He was visiting an animal sanctuary populated by former circus animals who were rescued once their tenure with the circus had ended. One animal in particular captured my interest and my sympathy. It was an elephant.
My friend Josh told me that the elephant would take three steps forward, and then three steps back, repeatedly, for an indefinite amount of time, which was very peculiar—so much so, that he asked the person who was giving them a tour of grounds, why the elephant was behaving that way.
The tour guide said that the elephant was chained to a pole for most of its young and adult life. The chain would allow for enough slack to take three steps forward, and then three steps back.
Three steps forward. Three steps back.
That was life for that elephant—an intelligent and beautiful creature.
While there are many elements to this song, this is one of them—and we all deserve to be free.
It is amazing how powerful a habit is.
However, outside of the context of this song, I had a lot of fun putting this together. My friend Tom Bremer played lead guitar. I sang and played rhythm guitar. I also mixed the song. I engineered this one myself too. For audio nerds (like me), it was recorded through a Universal Audio preAMP that I've never tried before called a Twin Finity 710. I used an AKG C414 on the lead guitar and used my AT4033 on the rhythm guitar. Vocals were through the AT4033 as well.
It probably sounds like amateur work, but I do the best I can—and I'm learning.
I hope this finds you all smiling and well and that perhaps you my find something to like in this tune. It has deep sentimental value to me and my life.

How to Deal With Habitually Late Employees
By Tia Benjamin
How to Write a Memo to an Angry Employee

Workplace Punctuality Policy
How to Deal With Irresponsible Employees
How to Get People to Show Up for Work on Time
Although an employee might not see the impact of habitual lateness -- viewing each incident in isolation as just a minute here and a minute there -- tardiness has a detrimental effect on the organization. If the small-business manager doesn't take charge of the situation and swiftly correct the problem, other employees will begin to believe the behavior is normal and acceptable. In a small business, this can quickly escalate to become an unwanted part of the company culture.
Document the tardiness issues. Identify whether any patterns or trends exist in the data -- for example, if the employee is late only on Fridays and Mondays. Gather specific information on the number of minutes the employee was late each day to counteract any claims by the employee like "it was only a couple of minutes" when in fact the employee was 20 minutes late.
Schedule a meeting to discuss the tardiness with the employee. Choose a private location or closed office so that the employee feels comfortable discussing personal reasons for his lateness. Emphasize the consequences of the employee's late arrival on the organization -- for example, his coworkers must pick up the slack, or nobody is there to answer customer calls -- and tell the employee that disciplinary action will occur if he continues to be late.
Place the responsibility for improvement on the employee. Ask him to suggest ways he can improve, such as leaving earlier or purchasing a new alarm clock. Accommodate the employee if it is practical to do so and does not impact operations. For example, if the employee is late because daycare doesn't open early enough, consider changing his schedule to allow him to work from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Provide a referral to the employee assistance program, if warranted. Sometimes tardiness can be a symptom of a greater problem, such as depression.
Develop a detailed performance improvement plan. Specify the time the employee must report to work -- "you are expected to be at your computer and ready to work by 8 a.m." -- and put in place enforcement mechanisms to monitor the employee's progress: "You are required to send me a confirmation email immediately upon reporting to work each morning." Depending on the reasons for the tardiness, consider other requirements, such as requiring a doctor's note for absences.
Review the employee's performance on a regular basis. If the employee fails to improve, continue to discipline him at increasing levels of severity.

Dummies.com: How to Handle Late or Absent Employees; Max Messmer
Don't accept excuses such as "traffic was bad." Instead, emphasize that the employee must build in time to allow for delays. Note that while you recognize that occasional emergencies and unanticipated, severe delays will come up, lateness is not acceptable on a regular basis.
Suspension is not an effective discipline method for an employee with attendance issues. Use methods such as a reduction in pay as an alternative.
If your small business is covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act, offer the employee paperwork to apply for a leave if the lateness appears to be caused by a qualifying reason.

Last year world leaders adopted a bold set of global goals to end extreme poverty and create a more sustainable, prosperous world. But what will it take to achieve them and where will the resources be found? Our development structures and their financial supports are under increasing pressure and facing strong headwinds in the shape of a challenging global economy, rising inequality, conflict and fragility as well as natural disasters and pandemics. How can we continue to build on the progress we have made and ensure it is not eroded away by our current challenges?

The Science and Industry Museum in Manchester, England, traces the development of science, technology and industry with emphasis on the city's achievements in these fields. The museum is part of the Science Museum Group, a non-departmental public body of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, having merged with the National Science Museum in 2012.

There are extensive displays on the theme of transport (cars, railway locomotives and rolling stock), power (water, electricity, steam and gas engines), Manchester's sewerage and sanitation, textiles, communications and computing.

The museum is an Anchor Point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage and is on the site of the world's first passenger railway station – Manchester Liverpool Road – which opened as part of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway in 1830. The railway station frontage and 1830 warehouse are both Grade I listed.

History

The museum was called the North Western Museum of Science and Industry when it opened in 1969 in temporary premises on Grosvenor Street in Chorlton-on-Medlock. It had close ties with the University of Manchester Institute of Science & Technology, having mostly grown out of the Department of History of Science & Technology, and UMIST's Richard L. Hills was the museum's first lecturer in charge.

In 1978, Greater Manchester Council purchased the earliest part of the former Liverpool Road station from British Rail, which had been closed in 1975. The council paid the nominal sum of £1 for the site. The museum opened at this site on 15 September 1983 and later expanded to include the whole of the former station.

Since 2007 the museum has organised an annual science festival in Manchester.

In 2014, it was announced Sally MacDonald would become the director. MacDonald left her role as head of collections at University College London and succeeded Jean Franczyk as director.

In July 2021, the permanent closure of the Air and Space Hall was announced. A spokeswoman has also said that the objects displayed would be returned to their original owners, and the objects owned by the museum, would be displayed in future exhibits. The collection was dispersed over the winter of 2021-2.

Exhibitions
Exhibits at the Science and Industry Museum include:

Computing and communications
 A replica of the Manchester Baby
 A Connected Earth gallery that tells the history of communications in Manchester and the North West of England opened in October 2007.

Locomotives

Ericsson's Novelty – A replica incorporating parts from the original locomotive of 1829
British Rail Class 77 No. 27001, liveried as Nederlandse Spoorwegen (Dutch Railways) No. 1505, Ariadne – A 1.5 kV DC electric locomotive built by Metropolitan-Vickers in 1953
South African Railways GL class Garratt No. 2352 – Built in 1929 by Beyer, Peacock & Company, Manchester
Pakistan Railways 4–4–0  No. 3157 (broad gauge) Originally built for North Western Railway of India by Vulcan Foundry, Newton-le-Willows (around 1911–1914).

Former galleries

Previous permanent exhibition galleries which have now been decommissioned include:
 Electricity Gallery - generation, distribution and use of electricity
 Gas Gallery - past to present look at the gas industry
 Underground Manchester - sanitation and water supply
 A space-themed gallery, with exhibits encompassing historical space flight, space science and also science-fiction, formerly took up the majority of the upper balcony of the Air and Space hall.  This was eventually considered outdated and removed in its entirety.

Some past exhibitions
 Body Worlds 4 between 22 February and 29 June 2008
 LMR 57 Lion Britain's oldest steamable locomotive (in the Museum of Liverpool since 2007)
Stephenson's Rocket – from 25 September 2018 to 8 September 2019

Railway

Until 2018, demonstration passenger trains ran within the museum grounds on selected dates. Trains were hauled by the museum's two operational steam locomotives:
Planet – A replica of Robert Stephenson & Company's Planet class locomotive, built by the Friends of the Museum of Science and Industry in 1992. The original locomotive was constructed in 1830 and hauled trains on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
Agecroft No. 1 – An 0–4–0 saddle tank built by Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns in 1948 for use at Agecroft Power Station. Restored to working order in 2011.

The museum's railway line was connected to the national rail network near Ordsall Lane Junction. However, construction by Network Rail of the Ordsall Chord railway link, which was completed in 2017, severed this connection and significantly shortened the museum's running line despite a legal battle to save it.

As of 2019, railway operations at the museum were suspended indefinitely.

Industrial machines

The museum exhibits the large collection of stationary steam engines, hot air engines, diesel engines, hydraulic pumps, large electric generators and other similar machines. Most of these machines are operational and occasionally can be seen running. This exhibit includes the last stationary steam engine built to power a mill.

There is also the exhibit of spinning and weaving machines, covering all the steps from wool to textile. These machines are run for a few minutes at scheduled times.

Adjacent St John's Quarter

The museum is adjacent to a £1 billion redevelopment area on the former site of Granada Studios. Work on the area, which will be known as St John's Quarter, is expected to be completed by 2022. The Manchester International Festival's new Factory venue is set to open alongside the MSI at the end of 2019 as part of the redevelopment.

The MSI have been granted planning permission to build a new Special Exhibition Gallery on the ground floor of the New Warehouse. Architectural firm Carmody Groarke won a competition to design the new gallery which is set to be complete by October 2020.

In July 2016 the council stated that, along with development partner Allied London, they had been in talks with the MSI "exploring how the presence of Factory opens up new possibilities for revitalising the whole area below Deansgate as a creative hub, with a joined up and extensive public realm. MSI's own developments plans are being aligned with this creative vision and the museum itself will become part of the creative public realm, with MSI's creative science offer balancing the creative and cultural production of Factory."

After conquering everything from coastal Latin to rustic Tuscan, T.E's taking a shot at the Galls from within an earthen-toned modern brasserie, warmly lit by the weather vane-esque metal rod fixtures hanging from the glossy, concentric rectangle'd ceiling, and filled out with textured brown leather chairs, florally deco'd banquettes, and large segmented mirrors, so you can watch yourself bug out.
AM fare kicks off with offerings like a dozen sunny side quail eggs w/ asparagus and "toast soldiers", smoked salmon sliders on mini potato-dill rolls, and mornay-sauced croque madame "fingers", while the afternoon brings everything from prime sirloin burgers w/ caramelized onions and house "T.E." sauce, to a roast lamb leg French dip (wise they're not also using the tongue, as it's a total gigot-lo).
There's also a lounge serving up plates of carpaccio-wrapped crispy oysters and foie-stuffed 'shrooms, all to pair with cocktails like the A L'Absinthe, a mix of pear vodka, limoncello, house-made sweet n' sour, fresh basil, and Pernod absinthe, a spirit originally so widely enjoyed by the French it ensured their destiny was Toulouse.


On 20 September 2017, UNU-IAS entered into a new collaborative agreement with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP). A Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Kazuhiko Takemoto, UNU-IAS Director, and Shamshad Akhtar, Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations and Executive Secretary of ESCAP.
With this agreement, both parties agreed to enhance the effectiveness and impact of their respective work on environment and development issues, particularly on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in Asia and the Pacific. They also plan to promote science-policy interface in Asia and the Pacific through joint analytical work and development of evidence-based instruments that support policymakers and other stakeholders to achieve the 2030 Agenda. The present primary focus of collaboration will include a regional platform for science-policy interface; integrated approaches for SDG planning; and evidence-based policymaking, monitoring, follow up and review.
As the first flagship project, both parties are currently developing guidelines to strengthen multi-stakeholder partnerships aimed at supporting the achievement of the 2030 Agenda by national governments in Asia and the Pacific. A related workshop was jointly organized last March in Bangkok at the Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD) 2017. The guidelines are expected to be published at the next APFSD in 2018.


Adding plant-based foods into the diet has been linked with lower blood lipid levels, blood pressure, and risk of developing chronic conditions. However, there are several myths around plant-based eating that cause many people to hesitate about incorporating them into their diet. Below are five myths and how you can overcome these common beliefs.
Myth #1 Around Incorporating Plant-Based Foods: Eating plant-based is expensive.
Convenience items may be cheaper, but with a well thought out plan, eating plant-based can be cost-effective. Eating whole foods provide more nutritional value than the cheaper, more convenient options.
Purchase fruits and vegetables when they are in season.
Frozen vegetables are just as nutritious and have a longer storage life.
Buy whole grains, beans, and legumes in bulk.
Myth #2 Around Incorporating Plant-Based Foods: Plant-based foods take too long to prepare.
With a little bit of planning ahead and meal preparation, eating plant-based can be realistic and easy.
Soak dried beans/lentils overnight for shorter cooking times.
Use a crockpot to cook stew, chili, or casserole all day to save time.
Wash and chop vegetables and keep them in an air-tight container to have on hand.
Keep it simple. Stick to foods you enjoy and know how to cook.
Use a weekly planner and grocery list.
Basics/Staples to have on hand: Spices, nuts/seeds, legumes, whole grains, and a plant-based cooking oil.
Myth #3 Around Incorporating Plant-Based Foods: I will not get enough protein and minerals on a plant-based diet.
A well-planned plant-based diet providing enough calories can meet the daily protein recommendations . Plant-based proteins are known to be low in fat and high in fibre, which is associated with a reduction in cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Iron is a key mineral in the blood and it is important to eat iron-rich foods. Plant-based foods contain non-heme sources of iron and animal sources contain heme iron. Food sources of non-heme iron include soybeans, white beans, quinoa, green lentils, and spinach. To increase absorption of non-heme foods, add a source of vitamin C. For example, add citrus fruits into a spinach salad.
Calcium is important for bone health and daily requirements can be met with a plant-based diet. Calcium can be found in plant foods such as fortified soy milk, tofu, pumpkin, chia seeds, spinach, and almonds. Evenly space your intake of calcium foods throughout the day to promote absorption. Ensure to include resistance exercise such as free weights and weight machines at least 1-2 times per week to strengthen bones.
Myth #4 Around Incorporating Plant-Based Foods: If it is plant-based, then it must be healthy.
Some pre-packaged and processed plant-based food items such as vegetable patties and snacks are high in added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium. If choosing pre-made vegetarian options, read the nutrition facts table to determine the nutritional value. Look for options that are low in saturated fat and have less than <5% DV sodium.
Plant-based foods may help to reduce risk of developing chronic illnesses and incorporating them can be easier than you think. Plan ahead and if in doubt, speak to a Registered Dietitian to help you create a plan and ensure that you are meeting your nutritional requirements.

It has only been about five years since James Dashner wrote the novel "The Maze Runner." The 2009 novel told the story of a slew of boys trying to escape a deadly maze. Now, director Wes Ball, has adapted this dystopian thriller for the big screen under the same name.
Dylan O'Brien in "The Maze Runner"
The movie is about a boy named Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) who wakes up, without his memory, in the middle of giant maze, an area called The Glade. He is greeted by a community of boys and soon learns they all have no clue why they are there. The only way out is through an ever-changing maze and Thomas takes it upon himself to find a way home.
"The Maze Runner" was exciting and engaging, something a lot of young adult novel adaptations are not. With the exception of "The Hunger Games," this was the first adaptation I could get emotionally invested in. I was intrigued by the story, I enjoyed the actors and their characters, and I had a really fun time. It didn't feel like another piece of unoriginal teen fiction. Though the movie isn't the most original thing that has hit theaters this year, it was still an absolute blast.
The film doesn't waste any time, launching you into the story within the matter of minutes. This, would set the pacing for the film that never slows down. The movie was constantly moving, it keeps giving you information to digest without over feeding you. Not once in the near two hour film did I check my watch, I was fully engaged with what was going on. From the intense action sequences in the maze to the simple dialogue between Thomas and the other boys, I never once felt bored.
Unlike the recent teen fiction adaptation, "The Giver", this film offers charismatic characters that I was not only interested in, but invested in as well. For example, Will Poulter does a great job as he portrays a character who acts quite tough but may be more afraid then he lets on. O'Brien, the film's lead, however, needs no help as he is able to balance the movie on his shoulders. It may not be the most spectacular performance, but he has some screen presence and is someone audiences can connect to.
My favorite aspect of the film, is how involved I felt watching it. It felt like I was by their side, trying to reveal this huge mystery with them. The movie cleverly kept me, and the audience, in the dark, making them as curious as their main character. The movie doesn't let you watch from a far, it puts you in the Glade with these characters leaving you to figure out the mystery.
"The Maze Runner" was an enjoyable film that isn't just for the "young adult" audience. It is engaging, fast paced, and should have you running to the theater.

Corcoran Ditches Florida in the Middle of Session to Court Right-Wing Billionaires
In a Highly Unusual Move, Corrupt Corcoran Ditches Florida in the Middle of Session to Court Right-Wing Billionaires in Vegas
Tallahassee, FL. — This morning, the Tampa Bay Times reported that House Speaker Richard Corcoran is leaving Florida in the middle of the legislative session to fly to Las Vegas for a weekend with the Republican Jewish Coalition where some of the GOP's biggest billionaire donors, including DeSantis backer Sheldon Adelson, may be in attendance.
The eyebrow-raising trip is especially unusual for a sitting Speaker of the House in the middle of session. Florida legislators are banned from fundraising during the legislative session and Corcoran's junket seems to violate at least the spirit of that law.
The trip is also a blatant effort to undercut Congressman Ron DeSantis' support from national Republicans and the party's biggest donors. Corcoran's entry "on potential rival Ron DeSantis' turf" is just the latest sign that the House Speaker plans on ceding no ground on the far right. He's already put out a widely condemned anti-immigrant ad and earned the support of alt-right provocateur Roger Stone. Corcoran's trip also raises the prospect of the Republican primary descending into a long, expensive civil war in which all three candidates playing to the GOP's far right base, and jeopardizing their ability to make a general election pivot.
"In a highly unethical move, Richard Corcoran is ditching Florida right in the middle of session to huddle with big billionaire donors. It's just the latest sign that Corcoran is more interested in exploiting the speakership to advance himself than actually helping the people of Florida," said FDP spokesperson Kevin Donohoe. "What's clear is that right now, the Republican primary has become a brutal contest to win the support of right-wing billionaires."

Discussions on 'how best to use the mart for finishing stock'
Aisling Kiernan
Mar 22, 2019, 8:30am
Discussions focused on making marts more enticing for finished cattle are taking place between the Irish Co-Operative Organisation Society (ICOS) and the Irish Farmers' Association (IFA).
The efforts come in the aftermath of concerns raised in recent months about factory feedlots and the perceived control they are having on beef prices in this country.
Ray Doyle of ICOS said that discussions had taken place between both parties and opportunities arose to explore all the options around "how best to use the mart system for finishing stock".
We are sitting down and trying to come up with innovative solutions to bring more livestock to the marts.
Doyle continued: "It is a work in progress but we are focused on a positive outcome and that is what we will work towards.
"We need to determine how we can facilitate finished cattle in a way that is compatible with the mart system and not dominated by the factories."
'Downward price pressure'
In a statement to AgriLand IFA president Joe Healy said meat plants had found a way of undermining the good work done by producer groups by "using very low quoted prices every week".
Over the years, the IFA has played a key leadership role in the formation of up to 60 farmer co-operatives in the livestock marts business.
He continued: "We were also key to the establishment of groups and co-operatives in the dairy sector. Family farms are being forced out through globalisation and the constant race to the bottom on prices.
"Farmers cannot survive the downward price pressure being pushed back against them."
Healy went on to say that he had worked at EU level to change policy in relation to unfair trading practices and contributed to increased transparency across the food chain.
"We have made some progress – but a lot more needs to be done," he added.

Author(s): Magerl, Caroline
A heartwarming picture book from award-winning author-illustrator Caroline Magerl about two unlikely loners who forge a forever friendship. Nop is a scruffy kind of bear. He sits on a dusty armchair in Oddmint's Dumporeum surrounded by the beaders, knitters, patchers and stitchers who are much too busy to talk to him. So he watches the litter tumble until, armed with a new bow tie, he has an idea that will change his life forever. This story began with a memory of Caroline's school holidays in Sydney. Her father was welding a steel yacht in a boat yard and she wandered off . . . only to discover the local dump, a home for the things people throw out! Many years later, her daughter Jen made a teddy bear out of scraps for her father. It's a very sorry-looking, but endearing creature. Named Roadkill, ten years later it still sits on top of his desk.

Features Ministry
A simple call, a grand vocation
Patrick J. Buechi May 25, 2021

It started with a simple question. "Have you ever considered becoming a deacon?"
When an already active permanent deacon asked William Broderick Jr. to consider joining the diaconate, he did so with an open heart and an open mind.
"He convinced me to give it a try and discern," he said. "I went in for the first year and said it was what I was meant to do, so I stayed."
The just ordained Deacon Broderick can't describe what others may feel when called to holy orders or what form that call may take, but he says it starts with being open to the idea of offering your life to the service of God's people.
"You just have to start paying attention to the suggestion. If you're listening, you will either get an affirmation or you're not," he said.
Serving his home parish of St. Vincent de Paul in Springbrook, the 58-year-old attorney already had a role similar to that of a deacon. He distributes Communion and assists his pastor in various ministries of the parish. Now ordained, he is able to baptize, witness marriages, preside at funerals, and preach at Mass. Interestingly, it's the ability to serve at the altar that he is least looking forward to. He would rather sit back and absorb the whole glory of the celebration rather than focusing on his specific role during the liturgy.
"When you're (serving at) the Mass, you're paying attention to what you're doing and what everyone else is doing and making sure that things aren't going to go awry. You're not paying attention to the Mass so much," Deacon Broderick explained. "It'll be nice to do baptisms, to bring people back to the Church. I will be privileged to do funerals, although it's not something you look forward to."
All permanent deacons receive a parish ministry and a ministry of charity at ordination. Deacon Broderick will continue to serve at St. Vincent's while also serving at St. Luke's Mission of Mercy in Buffalo.
Just as his simple as his call was, so is his goal.
"To serve the best I can in whatever the bishop has me doing," he said. "I'm here to help anything that helps the church move forward. We have a lot of challenges ahead of us because of everything that is going on and has gone on. (I hope to) bring people who have strayed away back into the Church and help them reconcile what's gone on with how they view the Church."

A week ago, we had reported that VW had discontinued the Passat for the Indian market and that it would bring a new one here over the course of 2014. Now, the company has issued a statement saying that car is still very much on sale for the Indian market.
A press release from the German automaker said, "We at Volkswagen continue to sell the current generation of the Passat through our dealer network. As with all our products, serviceability and availability of spares will never be an issue. The requirements of every Passat customer will be catered to with meticulous attention."
First launched in India in 2010, the Passat is offered with a 2.0 TDI diesel engine and the price ranges from Rs 26 lakh for the base Trendline version to Rs 32 lakh for the top-of-the-line Highline version. It faces competition from other luxury sedans like the Toyota Camry, Skoda Superb, Nissan Teana, Honda Accord (now discontinued) and even from some SUVs like the Audi Q3 and BMW X1.
Though the 2014 Passat has been launched internationally, Volkswagen is taking its time to bring it to India. The company statement continued, "Globally the next generation of the Passat is being readied and we shall introduce it in the Indian market at the appropriate time."

Q: Are Thread Safety and Data Race condition addressing the same issue? I am confused. As I understand, a piece of code is thread-safe if it functions correctly during simultaneous execution by multiple threads.
And data race occurs when 2 instructions from different threads access the same memory location, at least one of these accesses is a write and there is no synchronization that is mandating any particular order among these accesses.
Its clear that both relate to concurrency. But are they addressing the same thing?

A: If a program(or its part) has a data race, then there is very high probability that the program is NOT thread safe.
Thread-safety declares ultimate property for the program, which uses multithreading. But checking this property is very difficult task and cannot be fully performed automatically (because the term correctness in multithreaded case is badly formalized).
Data race declares event, which (relatively) easy to check automatically, and having this event has high correlation with thread-unsafety.
Summarized:

*

*No data race - program can be thread safe.

*Data race - program is unlikely thread safe.

Some languages prohibit to write programs with data races. For such languages:

*

*No data race - program can be thread safe.

*Data race - program is never thread safe.

We started by refreshing the brand assets and developing a typographic style and supporting graphics to support the existing logo. We then considered the existing photography and recommended a reshoot. We created a rustic and minimal mood board that would work well with the brand and would tell a story. Starting in the kitchen, with the chef's various tools and drawing board, we moved to the ingredients and then the creative dishes. The final touch: table setup and ambience.
We revamped the website after ensuring we had developed the right creative assets. Slick and simple, like the brand.
The mood board we created for Gustronomy's Instagram focused on creating a sense of space and a curated visual approach.
We created a short animation of the logo graphic that could be used in all future videos.
